In the last 10 years, we have seen the energy market evolve away from base-load fossil fuel power production to renewable sources. In this period over 30% of the country’s base-load energy production has been decommissioned, driven by National and European legislation to reduce emissions.

Renewable energy now makes up around 25% of total electricity generation, with wind and solar power being the largest contributors. As there is still no utility scale way to store electricity, the intermittent nature of renewable energy has resulted in a systemically volatile grid. This volatility, with resultant impact in market pricing, has presented our customers with many new challenges.

“Increasingly, we are seeing industrial occupiers demand larger and larger electricity connections; not only to meet their current demands – but also to future proof their facilities from advances in technology that may require even more power”.

Tony Watkins, Development Director, Panattoni
