CTDI Glenrothes: One site. Two clean energy solutions
Delivered through egg’s Energy Partnership Agreement Clean technology works harder when individual projects form part of a wider energy plan. At CTDI’s Glenrothes site, egg has delivered ground-mounted solar and EV charging, bringing two clean energy technologies together at one location. The project was delivered through egg’s Energy Partnership Agreement (EPA) approach, providing a joined-up […]
Wattstor helps Icknield Biogas cut electricity costs by 25% with zero upfront capital
For energy-intensive sites, rising electricity costs and grid constraints can make future growth increasingly difficult. Icknield Biogas, a South Oxfordshire anaerobic digestion site producing enough renewable gas to heat 6,000 homes, faced both: growing electricity demand and a grid connection that limited its ability to expand using conventional renewable solutions. Wattstor’s answer was a fully […]
Solar PV is moving beyond rooftops and into critical infrastructure
Commercial solar is commonly associated with rooftop arrays, but its potential extends further. Across roads, car parks, pathways and remote operational areas, a different model is gaining ground: solar infrastructure designed to operate independently of the grid. Permanent off-grid solar lighting integrates a photovoltaic panel, battery storage, an efficient LED luminaire and intelligent controls into […]
Waste management starts with energy: The hidden cost of unnecessary generator runtime
Energy waste is less visible than material waste, but it can be just as costly. Across construction, infrastructure, utilities and large estates, temporary power can become a blind spot in energy and carbon strategies. Diesel generators are often specified around a site’s maximum demand. In practice, they may spend much of the day running at […]
Explosion prevention and protection for BESS enclosures
Containerized battery energy storage systems (BESS) have expanded rapidly in North America as utilities, businesses, and communities integrate batteries for grid stability, backup power, renewable energy integration, microgrid support, and hybrid energy systems. This widespread adoption is one reason safety standards such as NFPA 855 have become more significant, as regulators and industry stakeholders seek […]
Carbon reduction is no longer just about setting targets
Over the last few years, organisations have invested significant time and resource into understanding their carbon footprint, setting reduction targets and developing sustainability strategies. Many now have net zero ambitions in place, alongside the reporting frameworks and governance needed to support them. While those foundations remain important, attention is increasingly moving beyond target setting and […]
Why energy management has become a business-wide conversation
Not that long ago, energy was something many organisations only really discussed when a contract was up for renewal or prices started making headlines. Responsibility often sat with Facilities, Estates or Procurement teams, with the focus on keeping sites running, managing consumption and making sure the organisation wasn’t paying more than it needed to. That’s […]
Digitalisation and the Future of Low-Carbon Housing: A practical guide
By Neil Fitzsimons, Managing Director of Power On The UK’s high-rise residential sector is moving into a new phase of development, shaped increasingly by net-zero ambitions and the Future Homes Standard. Digitalisation has become the backbone of this shift, enabling a new generation of homes that are not only more efficient to design and construct, but […]

METERING & MONITORING MONTH: CO₂ Monitoring Explained – Comparing traditional monitors and IoT sensors
For years, poor air quality has posed the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK, which is why it’s quickly moved from a background concern to a board-level discussion. So, for any business responsible for the safety of its employees, visitors or even customers, monitoring carbon dioxide has become a practical way to understand what […]
