INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURING

Grid-Ready Industrial Operations

Industrial and manufacturing facilities face complex grid connection challenges as they decarbonise processes and electrify heat and production at scale.

Focus Areas Our Capabilities Our Work Our Experts
RECENT FOCUS AREAS
Electrification Masterplanning
Mapping the grid infrastructure required to support industrial decarbonisation across multi-site portfolios, from heat electrification to process redesign.
Grid Constraint Navigation
Identifying transmission and distribution constraints early to de-risk site selection and capital expenditure for industrial expansion programmes.
Demand Management Strategy
Designing demand flexibility and battery storage solutions to reduce connection costs and manage peak loads across industrial facilities.
Industrial PPA Structuring
Procuring long-term renewable power purchase agreements aligned to industrial load profiles, decarbonisation targets, and cost management objectives.
Heat Electrification Advisory
Advising on the grid infrastructure and power procurement strategy required to electrify industrial heat and steam generation assets.

Decarbonising Industrial Infrastructure at Scale

Load Assessment & Forecasting
Modelling current and future energy loads across industrial portfolios to inform grid connection and electrification investment decisions.
Renewable Integration
Designing on-site renewable generation and storage systems to reduce grid dependency and lower industrial energy costs.
Network Reinforcement Strategy
Engaging with TSOs and DSOs to secure the network reinforcement commitments required for industrial electrification programmes.
Carbon and Sustainability Reporting
Advising on Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions reporting, ETS obligations, and sustainability certification applicable to industrial decarbonisation.

Our Work

Case Study

Steel Plant Electrification, Central Europe

Developed a phased electrification masterplan for a 90MW steel manufacturing facility, enabling a 40% reduction in carbon intensity while securing grid connection at target cost.

Portfolio Advisory

Industrial PPA Portfolio, Northern Europe

Originated and structured renewable PPAs for five industrial facilities totalling 350MW, delivering cost certainty and RE100 compliance across the portfolio.
