📈 What is Decentralized Energy Generation?
Decentralized energy means generating power directly on-site, using technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, or combined heat and power (CHP) systems. This approach gives businesses autonomy, resilience, and opportunities to feed excess electricity back into the grid for additional revenue.
📢 Fact: By 2030, nearly 50% of UK businesses are expected to adopt on-site energy generation.
⚡ Top Benefits of On-Site Energy Production
- Major Cost Savings: Cut bills by 30–60% and protect against volatile grid prices.
- Energy Independence: Enhance resilience against grid disruptions.
- Net Zero Goals: Reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%.
- New Revenue Streams: Sell surplus energy or store it for peak-hour use.
📢 Fact: Most businesses achieve full ROI within 5–7 years, with >12% annual returns.
🔄 Key Considerations Before Investing
