Built for care. Ready for the future.
DW Energy delivered the electrical and energy infrastructure for The Poets, a new purpose-built care home in Worthing, West Sussex.
Developed by South Coast Nursing Homes, the facility was designed to provide residents with a modern, safe and comfortable environment. Working alongside Pilbeam Construction over the course of the 12-month project, our team brought the building’s essential electrical, safety, resident-support and renewable energy systems together within one coordinated installation.
Our work included:
⚡ Complete electrical installation
💡 Internal and external lighting
🔔 Data infrastructure and nurse call systems
🔥 Fire alarms and CCTV
☀️ A 161-panel solar PV system
🔌 Six EV charging points
Care homes require reliable power around the clock. By planning these connected services together from the outset, we were able to coordinate their installation with the wider construction programme while giving the project team a single point of responsibility.
The 161-panel solar PV system now provides an on-site source of renewable electricity, helping the care home reduce its reliance on grid power and better manage future electricity costs.
Six EV charging points were also integrated during construction, preparing the site for the changing transport needs of staff, visitors and operational vehicles.
The completed project brings together reliable power, resident-support technology, safety systems, renewable generation and EV charging in one future-ready solution.
