Here's AMPYR Distributed Energy CCO Miles Thomas on how businesses can access the expertise required to secure an onsite renewable generation system that is right for them, with zero upfront cost and no maintenance charges - removing barriers to their #netzero journey:
"With rigid national decarbonisation targets looming, solar is set to play a pivotal role in offsetting reliance on fossil fuel consumption, as well as accelerating progress towards the cleaner, greener, more decentralised energy landscape of tomorrow. Importantly, the fact that significant private sector funding is available reduces pressure on the government to fund the transition, upgrade the grid and single-handedly subsidise the rapid adoption of renewables. With budgets clearly a hot topic of conversation, the ability to alleviate pressure will not only protect the public purse, but also deliver the rapid growth of distributed energy that the government desperately needs. This should be seen as a major opportunity on the road to net zero. Many businesses may think that going beyond buying renewable energy to explore the advantages of onsite generation is too daunting, especially with challenges and barriers around grid connections, capacity, returns, pricing and liabilities.
However, when it comes to distributed energy, the models for deployment have been tried and tested worldwide. At ADE, we plan to deploy more than £300m capital (including debt) on projects across the UK and Europe. Central to our ethos is to make it simple for organisations to realise the full potential of onsite renewables to reduce both energy costs and supply security risk.
What this means in practice is that businesses can access both the expertise and the funding required to secure a system that is right for them, with no upfront costs. We understand that businesses don’t want renewable energy installations to be a liability, so we take the pressure completely off."

"The UK’s enthusiasm for renewable energy generation continues to grow at a remarkable pace. According to The National Grid, total solar capacity alone surpassed 16.9GW in June 2024, increasing 8.5% year-on-year. With more than 1.4 million installations now operational and an estimated 63MW of commercial capacity being added every month, projections from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero suggest a fivefold increase, between now and 2030, to roughly 50GW installed and operational nationwide.
"With an estimated 2.5 billion square meters of south-facing commercial roof space still available, which could support more than 400GW of solar power in total (far in excess of the 90GW estimated by the Climate Change Committee to reach net zero), there is ample opportunity to achieve – or even exceed – these projections. This, combined with mounting pressure to decarbonise commercial operations amid strengthening sustainability targets and ambitions to increase energy resilience UK-wide shows a clear pathway for commercial renewable energy generation in the UK."
