We are a forward-thinking innovative council, and we’re delighted to have worked with 3ti to collaborate on this exciting project, which supports our carbon commitments while saving money on our electricity bills.
Councillor Tamara Reay
Wiltshire Council Cabinet Member for Assets
Wiltshire Council faced several key challenges in implementing their sustainability vision:
The council needed a partner with expertise in solar energy and EV charging solutions who could deliver a comprehensive and innovative approach to these challenges.
3ti Energy Hubs worked closely with Wiltshire Council to design and implement a multi-faceted renewable energy solution at Five Rivers Health and Wellbeing Centre:
The use of Glulam timber provided significant environmental benefits, being three times stronger and a third lighter than structural steel while using only a tenth of the energy to produce. This material choice further enhanced the project’s sustainability credentials through its minimal environmental impact, repairability, and potential as a biofuel at end-of-life.
The partnership between 3ti and Wiltshire Council has delivered impressive results:
Councillor Tamara Reay, Wiltshire Council Cabinet Member for Assets, highlighted the strategic benefits: “We are a forward-thinking innovative council, and we’re delighted to have worked with 3ti to collaborate on this exciting project, which supports our carbon commitments while saving money on our electricity bills.”
The Five Rivers installation serves as a powerful example of how local authorities can take meaningful action on climate change while providing enhanced services to their communities and achieving operational cost savings.
Wiltshire Council has made a firm commitment to become a carbon neutral organisation by 2030. As part of this ambitious goal, the council sought innovative solutions to reduce carbon emissions while enhancing public services and infrastructure. Five Rivers Health and Wellbeing Centre in Salisbury, as one of the council’s flagship leisure facilities, was identified as an ideal location to demonstrate leadership in sustainable energy solutions.
The council aimed to implement renewable energy generation that would both reduce operational costs and showcase their commitment to environmental stewardship. Additionally, they recognised the growing need for EV charging infrastructure to support the transition to electric vehicles within their community.

SCC’s growing electric vehicle fleet will be powered by Papilio3, supporting the council’s sustainability strategy. The solution was chosen to fulfill the urgent need for EV charging infrastructure at the site.
“The force’s target is to be Net Zero for all scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040, and it is hoped exploring the use of technology such as this – which uses solar panels on its roof – will help us achieve that.”
