Power Solutions
Access to clean, reliable power is critical to site promotion and business resilience
We focus on mapping out your priorities, needs, and opportunities. Grid capacity is constrained, and whilst investment is made to upgrade the UK¡¯s power infrastructure, we can help you make strategic decisions to secure power now for new schemes or the retrofit or extension of existing projects.
Our Power Solutions teams assess sites and available grid capacity. They establish options to scale up your needs, help you recognize when to make an application to secure power, and explore options for onsite generation, storage, and smart distribution networks to reduce peak demand. If you need help understanding the potential for renewable energy¡ªin terms of the most appropriate technology¡ªwe can help you navigate expected financial returns and the process to implement.
As our markets transition to a clean, predominantly electric future, we need three times the power capacity that¡¯s been available in the early 2020s. For developers, investors, and local authorities, we offer an end-to-end approach to the implementation of renewable energy, storage, microgrids, and EV charging. We¡¯ll help you strategically determine how and when to invest in these technologies, and we can work with you all the way to delivery, supported by our multidisciplinary engineering team.
Whether you¡¯re pursuing a front-of-the-meter strategy to deliver grid-balancing energy or a behind-the-meter strategy to provide energy resilience to a site, we can help you determine viability and optimise the best mix of power solutions.?
Grid capacity mapping
We assess power capacity across regions to inform land- and site-finding for investors and developers. We identify areas with suitable power capacity, shortlisting sites for viability review. To understand the infrastructure of sites, we analyse and liaise with distribution network operators (DNO) and transmission network owners and advise on load gaps between existing supply and future demand. Let us help you plan phasing or procure from alternative sources such as an independent DNO, private wire power purchase, or onsite solutions.Guiding you through the commercial viability for renewable energy
We assess all renewable technologies, including solar, wind, battery storage, geothermal, heat pumps, and hydropower, helping you understand your return on investment. We advise on collocating renewables with energy storage which can offer energy resilience and income generating opportunities. Our complete engineering design approach will support you through fund applications, scheme design, grid connection, planning, procurement for installation, commissioning, and operation and maintenance.Optimising electric vehicle charging infrastructure
Using our StratEV modelling tool, we deliver data driven strategies to identify appropriate sites for EV charging. Our modelling takes account of dwell time and grid capacity to determine the right mix and location of charging to demonstrate a return on investment. Our EV consultants also advise on integrating charging infrastructure with renewable energy generation and storage, vehicle-to-grid technology, and the opportunities for both on-plot and off-plot charging.Microgrids
Generating, storing, and distributing energy on your own localised network¡ªor microgrid¡ªis a smart alternative to traditional energy options. It creates self-sufficient, clean energy for your site and its users. Using large energy data sets, we can identify the optimal microgrid solution for technical performance as well as costs and return on investment. We can also manage supplier procurement and implementation. As electricity is generated locally, microgrids offer a way to improve energy resilience, and reduce carbon and costs.
