Energy projects in practice

How different energy projects can progress from a requirement to a next step.

These are illustrative case studies so you can recognise a similar starting point. They are not verified WattFund client outcomes, funded raises or completed installations.

  • Illustrative case study

    Industrial rooftop solar with behind-the-meter storage

    A North West industrial site considers rooftop solar to offset daytime demand, with a 500kWh battery to shift some of that energy. The project is illustrative. It shows a typical sequence: site facts, design envelope, installation costing, then a capital conversation if the site will not self-fund.

    Solar + battery

    Illustrative project

    Commercial rooftop solar + battery

    North West England · 250kWp PV · 500kWh storage

    Stage
    Costing
    Need
    Installation costing and funding review
    Next
    Structured brief for delivery quotes

    An industrial rooftop with on-site consumption and a behind-the-meter battery. The next gap is a delivery estimate, then whether owner capital or external funding is the right conversation.

  • Illustrative case study

    Destination EV charging on a commercial site

    A South East destination site wants chargers for visitors. The commercial model is not chosen yet. Some sites attract a charge point operator; many do not. The useful work is describing location, access, dwell time and power — not assuming free hardware or rental income.

    Destination charging

    South East England · 12 charging bays

    Stage
    Site assessment
    Need
    Operator or funding route
    Next
    Describe the site, power and dwell pattern

    A destination site that may suit hosted or site-funded charging. Utilisation, access and electrical capacity still need to be established. Hosting is not a promised rent product.

  • Illustrative case study

    Commercial BESS project in development

    A Midlands commercial battery energy storage system (BESS) is in development. Connection, duration and the commercial route matter as much as the containers. The example is illustrative: it shows why costing and grid position usually come before a useful investment conversation.

    Midlands · 1MW / 2MWh

    Stage
    Development
    Need
    EPC costing and capital review
    Next
    Connection position and delivery estimate

    A commercial battery energy storage system still in development. Grid position, duration and commercial route need to be stated as known or not yet known before a capital conversation is useful.

  • Illustrative case study

    Commercial heat pump retrofit

    A commercial building wants to move away from fossil heat. The work starts with demand, fabric and electrical capacity — not a domestic boiler advert. This example is illustrative and does not claim a government grant outcome.

    Need
    System assessment, costing and delivery route
    Next
    Building demand and electrical capacity

    A commercial building considering a heat pump or related low-carbon heat system. Demand, fabric and electrical supply have to be understood before a quote or capital conversation.

  • Illustrative case study

    Developed industrial rooftop solar seeking capital

    Not every solar project starts at a blank roof. This illustrative Yorkshire industrial array already has design and cost information. The remaining gap is a structured capital conversation — development work is not the current need.

    Next
    Present known costs and remaining gaps

    A developed rooftop solar project looking for an appropriate capital conversation. Costing already exists; the remaining work is structured information, not another concept note.

  • Illustrative case study

    Fleet depot charging infrastructure

    A northern logistics depot needs chargers for its own vehicles. That is a different project from destination or public charging. The first work is electrical capacity and a delivery estimate. An operator model may be irrelevant.

    Stage

    Power assessment and infrastructure costing
    Next
    Vehicles, dwell time and incoming supply

    A logistics depot that needs charging for its own fleet. The first questions are electrical capacity and a grounded install cost — not a public charging business model.
