Take Control of your Energy Costs

Let Volt Space create a Private Solar facility to power your business reducing costs and carbon emissions

  • Wholesale electricity prices and non-commodity costs continue to rise, squeezing UK businesses

  • Private Solar is the new strategic direction for enhancing margins and competitiveness

  • We create clean and cheap energy to sustain UK manufacturing and power future generations

  • We supercharge landowner returns while maintaining land stewardship

   

Why Solar Power

Why should businesses switch to Private Solar power?

REDUCED & STABLE ENERGY COSTS FOR THE LONG TERM

Wholesale energy markets are in turmoil, with continued oil and gas price rises feeding through to ever higher costs with each contract renewal. Government levies and subsidies are unpredictable.  Direct energy supply is 100% reliable, and truly de-risks manufacturers from spiralling overheads and diminishing margins.

LOCK IT IN LOW

The cost of solar power generated from a dedicated site can be £100/MWh cheaper than buying from the grid and fixed for the long-term.  Price and supply certainty is the new value creation strategy.   

 

FULLY FUNDED OR SELF FUNDING OPTIONS

We offer fully funded Private Solar  schemes backed by the power purchase agreements income, or self-funded schemes for businesses that want full control over the facility and its operations.  

MAKE IDENTIFYABLE ESG REPORTING STATEMENTS

Show your customers and clients tangible ESG progress with 70% less Grid Energy using REGOs from a Private Solar facility with a direct supply to your operations.

ENHANCING LAND PRODUCTIVITY

Volt Space uses Agri-solar, allowing landowners to maintain grazing, retain stewardship rebates, while enhancing and diversifying both land use and income.

BE PART OF THE ZERO CARBON REVOLUTION

The world must move to zero carbon energy if we are to meet Climate Change targets. Solar power is a clean and green source of energy.  It doesn’t release any greenhouse gases and uses no other resources in its operation.  It’s safe, reliable and low maintenance.

Site Feasibilities

At Volt Space we conduct thorough site feasibility studies to assess the viability of a Private Wire solar farm for your business. We evaluate key criteria, such as your energy consumption, pattern of use, and site variables such as grid infrastructure, cable routing, visibility, and the local planning constraints.

Power Purchase Agreements

The key to low and stable energy costs is locking in a Power Purchase Agreement at considerably lower prices than grid based energy. We structure fixed price PPAs at terms of 5, 10 or 15 years, with options to renew.

Land

We work with local landowners to secure long term rights for the facility, in locations set away from, but in proximity to your sites.  The rights are held by the project development entity, or by you for self-funded schemes.

We co-ordinate with specialists planners to prepare first class, fully researched and well-supported planning applications.  We commission all the necessary studies and reports to support the application, leaving no details to chance.  We track the application throughout, diligently answering queries and requests, to ensure the highest success rates.
