How to upgrade your electrical infrastructure with no investment
08 March 2023
In this short webinar, energy experts Andy Vickers and Bilgin Oralerkaya from Vattenfall Networks outline two essential services which UK food and drink manufacturers and processors should be aware of:
- Firstly, how Independent Distribution Network Operators (IDNOs) provide an alternative route to secure new or upgraded electrical grid connections which provide ‘cash-back’ via Asset Adoption Value payments.
- And secondly, how Power-as-a-Service can cover the investment costs for new on-site electrical infrastructure.
As the race to electrify accelerates, companies which plan ahead, and partner with an energy specialist, will reap significant advantages over their competition.
Power-as-a-Service provides an attractive alternative for company owners who lack the funds, knowledge or expertise, or do not want the burden of upgrading their own HV electrical infrastructure. Companies such as Vattenfall can shoulder the electrical H&S, environmental and legislative risks by owning the infrastructure equipment, and managing all compliance and regulatory issues.
Solar PV and battery storage can also be included in Power-as-a-Service contracts, which can significantly improve food and drink companies' energy efficiency and resilience.
