Behind the Meter Energy Optimisation

Our Behind the Meter Energy Solutions support commercial and industrial customers in managing energy directly at site level. We design, operate, and optimise on-site renewable generation, battery storage, and load management solutions to reduce energy costs, increase resilience, and improve energy efficiency.

These solutions operate independently of, or alongside, grid export arrangements and are tailored to each site’s operational profile. By aligning generation, storage, and demand, we help customers maximise the value of their energy assets while reducing exposure to market volatility and grid constraints.

Our team combines technical, commercial, and operational expertise to deliver practical, scalable behind-the-meter solutions that support decarbonisation goals while maintaining reliability and cost control.

FAQs

1. What does “behind the meter” mean?
Behind the meter refers to energy generation, storage, and consumption that occurs on the customer’s side of the electricity meter. These systems supply energy directly to a site rather than exporting it to the grid, allowing customers to reduce energy costs, manage demand, and improve resilience.

2. What types of customers are suitable for behind-the-meter solutions?
Behind-the-meter solutions are suited to commercial and industrial customers with significant or variable energy demand, including manufacturing sites, data centres, logistics facilities, and large commercial buildings. They can also support customers seeking improved energy resilience or reduced exposure to grid constraints.

3. Do behind-the-meter systems export electricity to the grid?
Not necessarily. Many behind-the-meter systems are designed to minimise or avoid export altogether. Where export is required or beneficial, systems can be configured to operate in both behind-the-meter and export modes, subject to regulatory and grid requirements.

4. How do behind-the-meter solutions reduce energy costs?
Cost savings are achieved by maximising on-site renewable generation, optimising battery storage usage, and managing demand to reduce peak consumption and network charges. This reduces reliance on grid electricity and helps stabilise long-term energy costs.

5. Do you provide ongoing operation and optimisation?
Yes. We provide ongoing monitoring, operational support, and optimisation to ensure behind-the-meter systems continue to perform as intended. This includes performance tracking, system adjustments, and support as site energy needs evolve.
