Decentralised energy
Decentralise to maximise
The energy crisis and the direct impact of potential gas and power shortages is resulting in soaring energy bills and greater frequency of power outages for energy-intensive industries. Many businesses are now considering generating their own electricity using distributed solutions to reduce their reliance on the grid and speed up their transition to sustainable sources of energy.
Decentralised energy solutions can combine the advantages of renewable energy (such as wind, hydro power, solar) and battery storage with the reliability of thermal generators. Increasing security of supply, reducing transmission losses and lowering carbon emissions. However, as operations continue to decentralise from the power grid, finding innovative ways to keep costs and emissions in check is an ongoing challenge. Through our flexible cogeneration and energy storage solutions, starting from 1MW to multi-MW, we aim to make decentralised energy a simple solution.

Hired energy as a service
Energy as a Service (EaaS) contracts are cited as a popular way of generating power on-site as it removes the barriers of high upfront capital investment, though there are concerns that getting locked into such contracts could leave businesses exposed to high demand penalties from the provider. In response to this, we have evolved the business model to ‘Hired Energy as Service’ (HEaaS), wherein customers can access distributed energy solutions without being locked into long-term contracts and fixed energy pricing. The modular nature of such agreements also allows supply to be scaled up or down at short notice in accordance with site demand.
