Renewable transition options· 9 MWh annual load · 100% renewable today

What it would realistically take to move 0 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.

Switch to certified renewable tariff
Not feasible
Most cost-efficient route for this load.

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.

Annual cost
£0–£0
Effort
low
Already on 100% renewable.
On-site rooftop solar (~10 kW)
Possible
Capex investment that covers ~100% of current consumption.

Install a 10 kW rooftop PV system (sized to match annual consumption). Yields ~10 MWh/year in GB — close to total annual use. Net-metering / export tariff supports the payback. Real proposal needs a roof survey + planning check.

Annual saving

Payback

Effort
high
Sized for an SME roof; 10 kW typically fits 150–250 m² of usable roof.
Aggregated / community PPA
Not feasible
Pool with other small users to access wholesale renewable generation.

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.

Annual cost
£0–£0
Effort
medium
Too small for direct PPA (typical minimum 1 GWh/year, this firm uses ~9 MWh).
Direct corporate PPA
Not feasible
Not feasible at this consumption volume.

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.

Direct PPAs require ≥1 GWh/year; this firm uses ~9 MWh.

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.

Sector net-zero pathway· professional services

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.

Professional services Scope 1+2 is small (offices); Scope 3 dominated by purchased services + business travel.
