A commercial micro-grid is a localised energy system that enables businesses to generate, manage, and control their own electricity supply. It can operate alongside the national grid or independently when needed, providing energy resilience, cost control, and operational continuity.
At Oakwood Energy, we design and install tailored commercial micro-grid systems that help organisations reduce energy costs, improve reliability, and support long-term sustainability goals.
A commercial micro-grid integrates on-site energy generation, typically solar PV, with intelligent control systems to power your business efficiently.
Unlike traditional energy supply models, microgrids:
This approach gives businesses greater control over their energy strategy while improving resilience and efficiency.
Energy Resilience & Business Continuity
Microgrids ensure your operations continue even during grid outages, protecting revenue and critical processes.
Enable Business Expansion
Installing a microgrid can make business expansion possible, for example an additional product line on the same site. This is beneficial for situations where capacity in the area is already limited, or the DNO costs to have the grid upgraded would make expansion projects unviable.
Reduced Energy Costs
Generate and manage your own power to reduce exposure to rising electricity prices and peak tariffs.
Sustainability & Net Zero Alignment
Lower your carbon footprint by integrating renewable energy sources into your operations.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Advanced control systems optimise how and when energy is used, reducing waste and improving performance.
