Even as summer approaches, electricity bills continue to be a concern for businesses across Lancashire. And with electricity prices still double what they were just two years ago, it’s no surprise that local businesses are seeking new ways to future-proof their businesses and wallets.
Take, for example, Liquid Science, based in Burnley. These product development experts have taken significant steps to reduce their energy costs and increase their independence to an incredible 60%. Previously equipped with a 60 kW solar system but wanting more solar power, the company faced a common hurdle: the limitation of no further grid connections available.
Here at Ember Energy, we worked closely with Electricity North West to facilitate an additional 100 kW of solar panels alongside a 100 kW battery storage system—all without incurring any extra grid connection costs. The system was installed swiftly and efficiently, reducing the business’s reliance on the national grid and fluctuating energy costs.
With the new system projected to pay for itself within five years at the current electricity rates, the foresight of this investment becomes even clearer. As electricity prices are only expected to rise, the savings and benefits will only amplify – making this a model of financial and environmental sustainability.
As more businesses start to consider solar, grid space is becoming increasingly scarce. This highlights the urgency of securing grid connections sooner rather than later. If future-proofing your business matters to you, it’s something to think about sooner rather than later.
Here at Ember Energy, we can help you acquire grid connections FREE of charge. Give us a call to get started.
