Telford & Wrekin Council, GB First Off-Grid Bus Station

Complete

Council officials collaborated with Etesian Green and Journeo on the self-sufficient station in Wellington. Each shelter is built from recycled plastics and a green roof system. Nearby solar panels and micro wind turbines cover 100% of the station's energy needs. A projected 820 kilowatt-hours per year in green energy will power CCTV cameras, digital signage, and lights. Telford & Wrekin Council plans additional off-grid stations by 2024 as part of its 2030 net-zero effort.
