The challenge
Formerly Savill Court Hotel & Spa, the site underwent a full redevelopment with Leep Utilities being appointed to adopt, own, and operate a standalone substation to support the hotel’s operations.
Nestled next to Windsor Great Park and the Savill Garden, Fairmont Windsor Park is a luxury hotel surrounded by notable landmarks such as Windsor Castle, LEGOLAND Windsor, and Thorpe Park Resort. Located within an hour of central London and close to Heathrow, the property blends traditional architecture with modern hospitality.
The project required a dependable and efficient power solution that aligned with the redevelopment programme:
- A new 1MVA transformer substation was needed to meet the hotel’s operational requirements.
- The power supply needed to be reliable to ensure continuity of day-to-day hotel operations.
- Delivery timelines were tight, with key milestones and events scheduled during the redevelopment.
