Data Centres as Large-Scale Private Wire Solar Customers
Private wire solar is emerging as one of the most compelling power solutions for data centres globally. As grid queues stretch to 5–15 years and UK C&I electricity rates remain the highest in Europe, access to power and the speed of that access has become the defining constraint on data centre development. This session gets […]
Ports, Logistics & Warehousing: The Silent Surge in Electricity Demand
Ports, logistics hubs, cold storage facilities, and automated warehouses are rapidly electrifying as shipping operations, freight handling, refrigeration, robotics, and heavy goods vehicles transition away from fossil fuels. Many of these sites are located in coastal or industrial areas with limited grid capacity, creating acute bottlenecks that threaten trade, growth, and competitiveness. How ports, logistics […]
Real Demand Profiles, Real Constraints
A thought-provoking workshop using real demand profiles from data centres, factories, EV hubs, and commercial estates to explore how constraints, pricing, and flexibility affect outcomes. Demand-growth concepts to real-world cases. The impact of delays, pricing, and flexibility. Where interventions matter most.
Community Energy: Empowering Local Ownership and Collaboration in Renewable Projects
Community-led renewable projects are enabling local areas to generate their own clean power, benefit directly from renewables, and play a key role in strengthening energy security. With successful examples emerging across the UK and new government support mechanisms, this session explores how developers can collaborate with communities to deliver projects that cut bills, displace expensive […]
Networking Lunch
Workshop: Applying Rooftop Solar & Load Optimisation in Practice
A hands-on session applying rooftop solar and load optimisation to real C&I demand profiles, exploring practical implementation challenges from design through construction. Navigate PPA structures when grid export is limited and explore optimizers and AC vs. DC oversizing strategies Assess multi-rooftop sites: consolidate grid applications across MPANs, address cable routing, and quantify costs across varying […]
Networking Break
Roundtable Discussions
Grid Connection Strategy Clinic Small groups work through real connection scenarios, sharing strategies for queue positioning, timing, and managing uncertainty. Community Engagement Playbook Interactive session developing approaches to local opposition, using BNG as engagement tool, and building community support. Technology Integration Deep Dive Technical discussion on SCADA integration, predictive maintenance, and data management for hybrid […]
Designing a Scalable Corporate Rooftop & C&I Solar Roll-Out
Why pilots don’t scale This session is about internal execution: governance, sequencing, and coordination across estates, not markets, policy, or finance. How corporates sequence multi-site deployment. Internal blockers to scale. Build a repeatable rollout framework.
