The Depot Charging Scheme: what £170m of UK funding will, and won't, pay for.
The Depot Charging Scheme has £170 million for UK fleet depots. The grant covers 70% of chargepoint and civils costs but not the grid connection, the vehicles, planning or design. Window two opens 28 October 2026.
Solar on Leased Buildings: What Landlords and Tenants Need to Get Right
Around 55% of UK commercial property by value is rented rather than owner-occupied. Solar on those buildings now works technically and commercially. What determines whether a project delivers is the lease, the funding route and the property structure underneath the panels.
Electric Fleets Need More Than Chargers. They Need an Energy Strategy.
Grid capacity is the first constraint for EV depot charging. But once you know what your grid position allows, the next question is how to design an energy system that makes fleet electrification work within those limits.
Your Energy Bill Is Decided Thousands of Miles Away. It Doesn't Have to Be.
UK energy costs are set by global commodity markets you cannot control. On-site solar and battery storage lets businesses and public sector organisations take a meaningful share of their energy spend off the table.
Commercial EPC Requirements to 2030: Why Rooftop Solar Should Be Part of Your Plan
EPC requirements are tightening, and most UK commercial buildings are not ready. A rooftop solar PPA addresses regulatory compliance and energy cost volatility in a single move, with no upfront investment.
Why Your Business Is Paying Too Much for Electricity in 2026
With wholesale electricity prices volatile and corporate sustainability targets tightening, solar PPAs offer an attractive route to stable, clean energy. Here's what you need to know.
Battery Storage Economics: When Do the Numbers Work?
Battery costs are falling while revenue opportunities are increasing. We examine the factors that determine whether battery storage makes commercial sense for your site.
Grid Capacity Constraints: Planning Your EV Charging Infrastructure
As businesses electrify their fleets, grid connection is becoming a critical bottleneck. Early planning and strategic approaches can avoid costly delays.
