Project overviewJohnstown Primary School used a
Salix loan to upgrade their lighting and
insulate their pipework. The school
wanted to create a brighter learning
environment and save energy and
costs. The school decided to utilise
Salix funding to ensure they could
improve lighting throughout the entire
school. The projects have an overall
payback of just over five years.

Johnstown Primary School’s Business case
Johnstown Primary School was
looking for an effective way to drive
down energy consumption.
The energy efficient lighting achieved
this by lowering the cost per pupil
by over £4 per annum. The Salix
Loans Programme, funded by the
Welsh Government, has made
these changes possible. The Salix
Loans Programme is available to all
schools within Wales and there is no
maximum application limit that each
school can apply for.

why Salix?
A Salix 100% interest-free £11,386
capital finance loan and client support
offered Johnstown Primary School a
cost and resource effective solution.
The Salix project compliance tool
showed financial savings from
implementing new lighting and
pipework insulation within the school,
and allowed Johnstown Primary to
achieve a project payback of 5 years.
Once the project has paid back,
Johnstown Primary School will go on
to benefit from over £1,913 in annual
energy cost savings.
The Salix solution
The Salix solution allowed Johnstown
Primary School to improve their
heating and lighting across the entire
school. They hope the new lighting
and pipework insulation will provide a
more stimulating learning environment
which will motivate students in the
classroom. Many of the children have
gone home and told their parents
about the projects - an example of
how energy awareness is spreading in
the community.
Salix and the school
The Salix Loans Programme worked
very well for Johnstown Primary
School, allowing them to implement
new lighting and pipework insulation.
The children were involved throughout
the Salix project, from the early
planning stages to working with the
school’s energy manager to learn about
how the loan and the technologies will
help their classrooms. The school also
has a green flag award from the Eco
School Programme and has an active
eco-club, eco-greenhouse, mini-beast
hotel and vegetable garden.
