(Farms, Food Production, Greenhouses, etc.)
Farms and agricultural operations – from small family holdings to large commercial producers – experience seasonal demand, infrastructure limitations and rising pressure to decarbonise. We tailor energy contracts to seasonal patterns and support cost-saving improvements through energy audits, on-site renewable options and storage solutions to reduce reliance on the grid.
Varies dramatically by harvest cycles and machinery use.
Often rely on diesel and electricity, with limited access to gas grids.
Infrastructure limitations or lack of smart metering.
Increasing pressure to reduce emissions and adopt renewables.
Match seasonal patterns and allow for flexibility in usage.
Solar PV, wind, or anaerobic digestion to reduce grid dependency.
Store excess power and use during peak tariffs.
Identify savings in irrigation, cold storage, or lighting.
Help farms access grants or funding for renewable installations.
Welton Aggregates Ltd, a family-run business, owned multiple gas and electricity meters across several sites. Each meter had a different supplier, rate structure, contract end date, and contractual terms, making it difficult to manage and track, resulting in higher bills. We went through an extensive tendering process to find suitable energy suppliers across the UK market. We reviewed various suppliers, contract types, and contract durations to find the best fit for the future.
