As a solution to satisfying 24/7 demands on the grid, Energia Group has invested in major generating assets – both conventional and renewable –complimented by advanced technological solutions to meet the needs of a sophisticated and dynamic energy market.

At the same time, we are examining ways to support ‘behind the meter’ generation for 12 of our largest energy customers. These solutions enable customers to generate power on premises, implement storage solutions, and even feed energy back into the grid when not required for their own operations.

Some of these Behind the Meter opportunities being assessed by Energia Group include:
• Installation of biogas CHP engines on larger scale customer sites
• Installation of solar and storage across retail sectors, aggregated to participate in wholesale markets
• Linking of solar and storage installation with electric vehicle charging solutions and retail tariffs
• Further electric vehicle opportunities – e.g. Vehicle to Grid, which allows vehicles to be used as a source of power when necessary

These “virtual generator” opportunities represent the future of a decentralised, flexible and responsive generation capability. As such, Energia Group is proud to be currently assessing potential funding options for pilot projects in the area of ‘behind the meter’ generation.
