Stabilise Energy Costs, Reduce Risk and Secure Long-Term Cost Certainty for Industrial & Logistics Estates

Energy is no longer a predictable operating expense and the ability to stabilise energy costs is of paramount importance.

For industrial estates, logistics hubs, warehousing operations and manufacturing sites, energy price volatility now directly impacts profitability, lease competitiveness and long-term planning.

Relying solely on grid supply means exposure to:

  • Tariff fluctuations
  • Demand and peak-rate surcharges
  • Supply-side instability
  • Increasing decarbonisation compliance pressure

For high-consumption sites, this isn’t simply a utility challenge, it’s a strategic business risk.

Why Energy Volatility Matters

Factor Impact on Commercial Sites
Rising wholesale energy costs Shrinking operating margins
Peak-rate tariffs & demand charges Higher costs during core operational hours
Grid constraints Increased disruption and reliability risk
Sustainability demands from tenants & supply chains Competitive differentiation now depends on decarbonisation visibility

These risks influence:

  • Asset value
  • Tenant stability and retention
  • Lease attractiveness
  • Long-term market positioning

But the same sites most affected are also best placed to take control.

A Proven Path to Stability: On-Site Energy Generation + Storage

Industrial and commercial estates typically have:

  • Large building footprints
  • Land
  • High daily energy usage profiles

This makes them ideal for combined solar PV and commercial battery storage systems.

How It Works

  1. Generate your own power on site using solar PV through commercial solar installation.
  2. Store excess energy in a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) through commercial battery storage.
  3. Use stored energy during peak tariff periods.
  4. Reduce reliance on the grid and stabilise long-term costs.

Benefits

Outcome Result
Lower cost per kWh Operating cost reduction of up to 70%
Stable long-term pricing Cost certainty for 25–30+ years
Reduced peak and demand charges Improved operational efficiency
Enhanced asset & estate value More attractive lease propositions
Strengthened sustainability profile Alignment with customer & supply chain expectations

This is not just about sustainability.

It is about financial resilience and commercial performance.

When This Approach Delivers the Most Value

This model is especially effective for:

  • Logistics centres and distribution hubs
  • Warehousing and cold storage
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Business and industrial parks
  • Agricultural processing estates

If your site consumes high electricity during daytime operations, the business case is typically strong.
