6. Metal plating is an energy-intensive
and environmentally challenging
process. That’s why in 2008, after 30
years in business, Foleshill Plating Co
Ltd moved markets and installed its
first cathodic electro-coating line.
After a second line was added in 2011,
e-coating now accounts for over 90%
of their business. Foleshill launched
into the automotive sector in 2013,
and while such growth is a real
success story, it also presented some
challenges.
A new 16,560 ft2
facility increased
Foleshill’s space by over 80% and
enabled them to boost production
capacity by 120%. Foleshill got in
touch with us and discussed its
energy needs in depth.
“E.ON were very thorough with their
analysis and quotation process,”
Chris said. “We were advised that
we needed to upgrade our power
supply by 500kW. They put in a new
transformer, which has two 11KV
switches and means that we now
have, effectively, three isolatable
supplies. At the same time we
installed energy-efficient equipment,
including soft-start motors, and the
painting line’s gas-fired heating was
replaced with a hot water boiler
system.”
The biggest step forward came
when the reality of its energy
consumption was quantified. “We’ve
boosted capacity by 120% and we’re
processing production more quickly,
but our energy needs have gone up
by only 20%” added Chris.
Matthew Barrow, Business
Development Manager at E.ON
advises that any business
considering expansion should
consider the following points:
• Determine how much power you
need, now and in the future – so
build in future requirements.
• Think about timescales; a large
site or an installation in a complex
thoroughfare might take many
months.
• Be clear on WHY you want it – very
few businesses are the same;
we’re very happy to talk through
real needs and to ensure the right
solution.
• We acknowledge that the process
can be complex but it sometimes
has to be; getting the solution right,
first time, takes time.
• We can manage the process all the
way through from site visits and
technical specifications to customer
liaison, installation and even help
maximising working capital.
Our advice helped Foleshill Plating to more than double its production capacity but keep
increases to its energy use to only 20%, as Technical Director Chris Waterhouse explains.

choice for expert advice when
we started our electric bus
project.”

11. Steve Cornes, Public Transport
Principal Project Officer, Nottingham
City Council, explains our
involvement in the project:
“E.ON helped us with a very
successful initiative called Plugged
in Midlands, which involved
installing electric car charging
points across the region, so they
were the natural choice to help with
this project.
“We’ve made a commitment to
reduce the city’s CO2 emissions by
26% by 2026. Our network of
zero-carbon electric buses will make
a significant contribution to that
target and we couldn’t have done it
without E.ON.
“We worked with them to
investigate the requirements and
logistics involved in managing and
charging our fleet of electric buses,
including the feasible locations for
our charging depot.
“They installed a new connection
with substation and switchgear to
give us a reliable energy supply for
this complex project. There are now
60 charging points around the city,
including the three fast chargers
and 27 trickle chargers at Queen’s
Drive Charging Depot.
“E.ON also worked well with, and
helped us co-ordinate, the large
number of contractors involved,
helping the project run smoothly. It
was clear they were committed to
giving us the best recommendations
for the project, focusing on
efficiency and value for money.
“The service and advice E.ON
provided were exactly what we
needed. They took the time to fully
understand our objectives and
developed the project in ways that
best suited our needs, making sure
everything went to plan.
“Thanks to the success of the
project, we’re now looking to install
around 25 new charging points this
year. Working with E.ON has been a
really positive experience and we’re
looking forward to continuing our
partnership.”

16. Background
EPAX, a pharmaceutical
manufacturing plant, had stopped
using gas in its production
operations for a number of years,
but wanted to install new gas-fired
equipment. As the previous gas
supplier, they asked if we could
provide and install a new gas meter
to the original pipework.
After initial discussions with
Northern Gas Networks, the existing
supply was found to be unsuitable
for use due to the length of time it
had been out of operation. To move
the project forward we provided
EPAX with a solution which included
a high pressure supply, a twin
stream meter installation and an
upgraded underground outlet to a
number of locations on the site.
The project
• A full ground survey was carried
out to determine any issues
• Northern Gas Networks carried
out a scope of works for the high
pressure supply
• The programme of works was
agreed with EPAX
• Work began with the excavation
and construction of the meter
installation base
• Due to the high water table from
recent rain, a large water pump
was used day and night to provide
access to the construction site
• EPAX has a new fit for purpose gas
supply provision made for future
buildings
We provide project management for sites of any size. When EPAX needed a new gas meter
for their manufacturing plant, we were able to provide a solution designed specifically to
their requirements
“We are impressed with
the final installation,
and the future flexibility
incorporated into the
design. EPAX would also
like to acknowledge the
valuable co-ordination
role played by E.ON on
this project.”

They produce a wide range of cheese and dairy products, operating across eight locations
around the UK.They supply customers in the retail, food service and milk sectors, in the UK
and internationally.
Case study
Tony Carter, First Milk Group Project
Engineer says: “The dairy industry
around the world is experiencing
really tough trading conditions.
Therefore it’s more important than
ever to do everything we can to
reduce our costs and create greater
efficiencies. We process over 700,000
litres of milk every day at our
Haverfordwest creamery, turning
it into award-winning cheddar
cheeses and whey concentrate,
which uses a lot of steam.
“To save money and lower our
carbon footprint, we needed to
replace the oil-fired boilers here at
Haverfordwest with gas.
“E.ON visited the creamery to
understand exactly what we needed.
The switch to gas involved installing
a new 745 metre pipeline to bring
gas from the local high-pressure gas
main into our boiler house. It was a
complex project, which took 18
months, but E.ON used the best
contractors at each stage to make
sure things ran smoothly.
“We were keen to get the project
finished quickly and efficiently,
so we could start benefiting from
the cost savings. E.ON understood
the commercial impact of the
project and managed everything
from start to finish, including liaising
with planners, the local network
operator and landowners.
“With so many different people on
board, communication was really
important. E.ON made sure I had a
single point of contact to keep me
up to date.
“Now we have a consistent source of
energy without the need for oil
deliveries, and we’ve almost halved
our steam generation costs. All in all,
another great job by E.ON.”
