A further 28 school sites and council buildings will also have solar panels installed over the next 3 months, saving an additional 220 tonnes of CO2 a year.

Mitie continues support for Welsh Government’s net zero goals

Following a competitive tender, Mitie has successfully retained its contract with the Welsh Government to continue to deliver Facilities Management (FM) across its 21-building administrative estate.
