Practices & perspective
“. * Leasing a serviced office significantly impacted our abilty have control over factors such as energy and waste management. However as of the end of the reporting period we have moved premises to a new fully managed office giving us more control over these elements to reduce future impact. We have also formalised our environment and sustainability working group who meet at regular intervals to review progress and new initiatives.”

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· 20 MWh annual load · 52% renewable today
What it would realistically take to move 10 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 22 kW rooftop PV system (sized to match annual consumption). Yields ~21 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.
