Country grid context · United Kingdom · 2024
Coal-free since Sep 2024; wind-led grid.
Source: Ember Yearly Electricity Data (CC BY 4.0). For SMEs, the grid carbon intensity is the dominant lever on Scope 2 emissions — switching to a renewable tariff is often the single biggest cut available.
Renewable transition options· 178 MWh annual load · 0% renewable today
What it would realistically take to move 178 MWh of remaining electricity to renewable sources, given typical SME options + market-specific costs in this country. Numbers are indicative — a real proposal needs a quote from a local installer or supplier.
Sign with a green-energy supplier (Guarantees of Origin / REGOs backing). No capex; pricing is tied to a small premium over your current standard tariff. Best when paired with on-site reductions to keep total bill manageable.
Install a 188 kW rooftop PV system (sized to match annual consumption). Yields ~179 MWh/year in GB — close to total annual use. Net-metering / export tariff supports the payback. Real proposal needs a roof survey + planning check.
Several brokers (e.g. SmartestEnergy, Statkraft, Centrica) now offer aggregator " + "PPAs that pool SMEs to reach the ~5 GWh/year minimum. Typical contract length 5–10 years. Pricing usually below standard tariff; protects against grid-tariff inflation.
Direct PPAs require a buyer to commit to ~5–50 GWh/year over 10+ years. Any SME at <100 MWh annual consumption can't access this market directly. Out of scope for this firm.
Cost ranges are 2025-ish published market data. Premiums + capex move with energy prices and policy. Best approach for most SMEs: certified renewable tariff first (cheap, fast), then on-site solar if roof + capital allow. PPAs need ≥1 GWh/year volume to access directly — aggregators are starting to bridge this for smaller users.

Industry-level decarbonisation context — not this firm's own commitment. Shows how the wider sector needs to evolve for individual SME targets to be achievable.
Generic manufacturing leans on power-grid decarbonisation as the dominant Scope 1+2 lever.
