EuroSite Power, a clean energy provider, has signed a £6.6m contract with Roko Health clubs to provide heat and power to four of its clubs.

The clubs - in Chiswick, Gillingham, Nottingham and Portsmouth - all have indoor pools with spas, saunas and steamrooms as well as fitness areas.

Under the fifteen-year agreement, EuroSite Power will install and operate combined heat and power systems at each of the health clubs. The company will produce clean energy in the form of electricity, heating and domestic hot water for each health club.

The four projects will produce around 6.6 GWh of total energy per annum, while saving up to 694 tonnes of CO2 each year.

The clubs will only pay for the energy used and will avoid all capital, installation and operating costs. EuroSite Power will handle all service, maintenance and repairs.

Neil Stanton, Roko Health Clubs' Operations Director, said: "We anticipate a material reduction in both our annual energy bill and CO2 production.

"In addition, by displacing electricity consumption from the grid with generation from an on-site CHP unit we believe EuroSite Power's solutions provide the opportunity to address some of the financial and administrative challenges posed by the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme."
