A hotel in Scotland has become the first in Britain to run on batteries.

The Gyle Premier Inn in Edinburgh has installed a five-ton battery which will charge from the national grid during off-peak periods and power the 200-room site for several hours a day.

The lithium ion battery is expected to save £20,000 a year on energy bills and can power the whole venue, including the restaurant, for up to three hours after a two-hour charge.

Premier Inn's owner Whitbread said the battery storage technology will help halve its carbon emissions by 2025.

Cian Hatton, Whitbread's head of energy and environment, said: 'Batteries are of course everyday items, more commonly associated with powering small household goods like the TV remote control, so it's incredibly exciting to launch the UK's first battery-powered hotel - an innovation which will save money, ensure security of supply and support the transition to a more flexible grid.'

The hotel chain joins companies including B&Q and Veolia, which both installed lithium ion battery power systems in 2018.

The new development is set to save the company money as well ensuring the security of supply and support the National Grid

Electricity company E.ON has supplied and installed the technology at the hotel and will be remotely managing the battery's workload and efficiency from its energy management centre in Glasgow.

Richard Oakley, customer accounts director at E.ON, said: 'The Gyle at Edinburgh Park is already an energy efficient hotel thanks to the remote monitoring and management of its systems from our control centre in Glasgow.

'By adding the flexibility of battery storage we can also help Whitbread to upgrade to the full-board option of drawing electricity from the grid when prices are low, storing that energy for use at peak times and having the ability to sell it back to the grid to help balance supply and demand on the network.

'Premier Inn is showing how hotel chains and large power users can further save money, reduce their carbon footprint and support the development of a lower-carbon, smarter energy grid in the UK.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
