Since 2011, Laverstoke Mill has been home to one of the most recognisable of gins, Bombay Sapphire.
Since the gin distillery took up residence, the most striking addition to this quiet Victorian site has been the two intertwining glasshouses, designed by Thomas Heatherwick’s studio. Behind these picturesque scenes though lies the heart of Laverstoke; the ecological and sustainability emphasis that is key to the site. A biomass boiler uses by-products from the distillation to provide heat and hot water; through this, coupled with a photovoltaic array and a hydro-electric turbine on the river, up to 85 per cent of the site’s power is self-generated to reduce its carbon footprint.

The changes we are making will ultimately make it easier for all parties to sell balancing services to the System Operator, delivering more efficient markets and minimising costs to consumers.
Everyone who uses Britain’s electricity network pays to do so in one way or another. Generators pay to move electricity to where it’s needed. Demand users like suppliers, or directly connected users such as factories and steelworks, pay to consume power. Ultimately, these costs are passed on to the end consumer in the network cost element of their bill.
