Organizations are under pressure to reduce operating costs while ensuring access to the energy they need to power critical operations. Amid rising global energy demands combined with grid instability and extreme weather events, there is a growing need for reliable and sustainable energy. The adoption of renewable energy generation, energy storage systems, and other on-site energy solutions will be key to helping stabilize and decarbonize the electrical grid.

Deploying on-site energy solutions can also reduce costs, support sustainability goals, and secure energy resilience. Centrica Business Solutions offers organizations a comprehensive suite of solar photovoltaic (PV), energy storage systems, vehicle charging stations, and microgrid solutions. Our expert teams tailor your project to your specific site and energy requirements – helping you maximize the energy production and storage potential of your infrastructure.

Benefits of on-site energy solutions

  • Lower your electricity costs and reduce your consumption from the grid by generating your own renewable electricity.
  • Reduce your demand charges by storing renewable energy in batteries and using it at grid peak price times – when charges can be up to half of your energy bill.
  • Reduce your carbon footprint, meet sustainability goals, and strengthen environmental and corporate social responsibility credentials by offsetting grid consumption with renewable energy.
  • Gain budget stability through predictable electricity costs and accurate forecasting of operating expenses.
  • Generate revenue by selling excess renewable energy to the grid through programs like net metering – or by placing batteries in Demand Response markets.
  • Secure an uninterrupted energy supply for critical equipment and processes during power outages.
