Overview

Development and Delivery of Waterbeach Renewable Energy Network (WREN) The Greater Cambridge Shared Waste Service (GCSWS) for Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council has made a commitment to decarbonise its fleet of refuse vehicles by 2030, which currently accounts for around 1,800 tonnes of CO2 per year. To support fleet decarbonisation and meet the Councils' 2028 and 2030 net zero targets, there is an urgent need for an on-site renewable energy solution to enable charging of electric vehicles at its depot in Waterbeach, where the local electricity network has insufficient capacity to meet the charging requirements of the Councils' fleet. The depot is located at Dickerson Industrial Estate, Cambridge CB5 0PG, off the A10, in between the Cambridge Research Park and Waterbeach Waste Management Park.
