Professional Construction Services for your renewable Energy or Low Carbon Heat Project
Our multi-disciplinary team is vastly experienced in wind, solar, hydro and heat pump technologies.
Our comprehensive service manages your project all the way through to testing and commissioning, ensuring the safe, timely and on-budget delivery of your renewable or low-carbon power generation or heating installation.
Technologies
Hydro
Most of us are familiar with the larger, utility-scale storage hydroelectric schemes with their imposing dams and large reservoirs. But there are many more small-scale, run-of-river schemes. These schemes typically require no dam or reservoir and simply divert flowing water from a water course through a channel or penstock to drive a turbine.
Solar PV
Our solar PV service covers all elements of consenting, design and installation and we have successfully completed projects for agricultural, retail, industrial, manufacturing and public sector clients.
With decreasing panel prices and the drive for businesses to become net zero, solar PV has become a key technology choice for those looking for affordable, clean power.
Wind
Onshore wind has rapidly become one of the cheapest forms of electricity generation. Businesses with adequate land and wind resource, or access to such land, can decarbonise their business and access cheap and renewable power by installing a wind turbine.
Such businesses can choose to develop, build and operate their own projects, lease their land to a developer and buy clean energy from the project, or adopt a shared ownership model. Again, net-zero targets are driving more organisations to look at wind as an option and falling prices, along with mature technologies can make wind power a cornerstone of net-zero strategies.
Low carbon heat
Heat is a major component of energy consumption in the UK and represents a significant challenge to our decarbonisation efforts.
Industrial process heating is overwhelmingly dependant on fossil fuels but proven and economical alternatives are available.
