This weeks energy news from Power Audit UK. If point one is a concern to your business with a 12.6% increase on energy costs versus the last quarter, you should get in contact with Power Audit who will assist on both energy procurement and help business reduce energy usage and carbon reduction with net zero initiatives and esteemed partners in renewable technology. That’s a win-win in my book.

🚨 Solar Energy UK calls for 50GW of solar and 30GW of zero-carbon energy storage by 2030! 🚨 In their new manifesto, they urge the next government to publish a roadmap within 100 days to achieve this ambitious target. With current capacity at 20GW solar and 8GW storage, these goals align with the UK's 2035 target of 70GW solar. Overcoming planning inconsistencies and boosting investment are crucial factors. Utility-scale developments for solar and battery storage offer opportunities which the government could support, particularly via the creation of a national target for the technology. Solar Energy UK CEO Chris Hewett emphasised the need to set an energy storage target to facilitate new renewable energy generation technologies. The UK energy industry has entered a period of huge growth with ambitious targets, meaning there will be opportunities at mass for skilled labour. If you are keen to discuss Construction/Site Management opportunities on projects across Solar and Battery Storage, drop me a message! #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #GreenJobs #EnergyStorage #UKClimateAction

I’m proud to share that we delivered the largest dividend to customers of any I&C-only provider involved in the latest Demand Flexibility Service for the second year running. 📢 The Demand Flexibility Service (#DFS) is National Grid ESO power demand reduction service, rewarding businesses with electric assets for turning down their consumption at peak times. Our participating customers were spread across utilities, agricultural, automotive and professional services sectors. Collectively, they 👇 📉 Reduced power demand by 357MWh 💸 Generated a revenue of nearly £1.2m Both these figures were up against those we achieved for our customers last year – a particularly impressive feat given that NGESO removed guaranteed flexibility reward prices for the second half of the test events. Providing demand-side #flexibility is a key part of enabling a #NetZero grid in the UK, and we’re pleased to be working alongside NGESO to give our customers the best opportunity to do this. https://lnkd.in/eKJM6gZw Drax Energy Solutions ⚡

📈 Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS) demand charges could increase by around 33% for businesses from 1 April 2025. That's according to National Grid's 5 Year View, published last week. 📊 The fixed, HH and NHH charges are all expected to rise on average. But as the fixed component is now the vast majority of TNUoS (read: all of the tariff for anyone north of the midlands), its the 33% increase to the fixed tariff that will have the most influence. This follows a reduction in 2024-25 TNUoS compared to last year's levels ☝ The longer term forecast out to 2029-30 predicts smaller year-on-year rises to TNUoS. Although clearly there is a lot to be finalised between now and then, including the RIIO-ET3 price control. 🧔 A standard Low Voltage Site Specific Residual Band 2 customer might expect to see an increase from £2,640/year in 2025/26 to £3,010/year in 2029/30, based on these figures.
