Rooftop Solar PPA for a 24/7 Cold Storage Warehouse
Client: UK Logistics Company
The Challenge
A 24/7 cold storage warehouse faced high electricity costs, with capital prioritised elsewhere. The client wanted meaningful bill reduction and improved cost certainty without taking on delivery complexity or upfront investment.
Our Solution
Tipio Energy developed a PPA-funded rooftop solar project, financed by a UK infrastructure investor and indexed below forecast grid price rises. We delivered end-to-end support from feasibility through to commissioning: • Feasibility and yield assessment using half-hourly data and load profiling • Commercial modelling and investment-ready outputs • Tender pack, bidder management and evaluation • Contract negotiation and redlines, including a buyout option at Year 15 • Legal support coordination and commissioning sign-off • O&M, monitoring and insurance delivered via trusted Tipio partners PPA pricing applies to on-site solar used, with exports retained by the asset owner.
The Outcome
330kWp of rooftop solar capacity was installed with zero upfront capital. In Year 1, the project reduces electricity costs by £36,680, a 24% reduction versus grid-only costs. Across the 15-year term, the modelled savings total £775,626, while avoiding 66 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
