In their own words
. * This reporting year reflects our first structured assessment of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for our operations at Tait Road Industrial Estate. Energy consumption and emissions are stable and proportionate to the size of the unit. The switch to Octopus Energy’s renewable electricity tariff has reduced our market‑based Scope 2 emissions to zero. We will continue to monitor energy use and identify opportunities for further efficiency improvements.

Renewable transition options· 7 MWh annual load · 64% renewable today

What it would realistically take to move 2 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
Recommended
Most cost-efficient route for the remaining 2 MWh.

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
£12–£60
Effort
low
£5–£25 per MWh premium in GB; ~£12–£60/year for 2 MWh.
On-site rooftop solar (~7 kW)
Possible
Capex investment that covers ~100% of current consumption.

Install a 7 kW rooftop PV system (sized to match annual consumption). Yields ~7 MWh/year in GB — close to total annual use. Net-metering / export tariff supports the payback. Real proposal needs a roof survey + planning check.

Payback

Effort
high
Sized for an SME roof; 7 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
£491–£563
Effort
medium
Too small for direct PPA (typical minimum 1 GWh/year, this firm uses ~7 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 ~7 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

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.

Sector mapping not yet specific — every business depends on the power grid as the universal dependency.
