Barratt's tallest building goes ‘green'14/05/2008 - The Elektron, Barratt's latest development in London Docklands, has been fitted with wind turbines and solar energy collectors to make a renewable contribution to its energy needs. Each of the three towers at The Elektron has been provided with a 2.5 kilowatt wind turbine and a 2 kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) solar panel array. The combined renewable energy generated by both systems across all three towers is expected to exceed 20,000 kilowatt-hours per year, resulting in a total carbon emissions saving of 11.5 tonnes per annum.
