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 […]
Waste-to-Energy Solutions: Questions commercial buyers should ask
For energy managers, waste-to-energy is not simply a disposal question. It sits at the intersection of energy resilience, carbon reduction, resource efficiency and long-term operating cost. Waste-to-energy solutions convert suitable waste streams into usable forms of energy, typically electricity, heat or fuels. Depending on the technology and feedstock, this can include incineration with energy recovery, […]
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 […]
