SOLAR POWER,
FULLY REALISED.
How an education network achieved significant energy savings through UrbanChain's energy operating system.
The challenge
GENERATION LOST
TO THE GRID.
A school sought to optimise renewable energy from on-site solar panels. The institution aimed to connect its main building's generation capacity to other school sites, enabling direct consumption of clean energy rather than exporting to the grid and repurchasing at premium rates.
Without UrbanChain's solution, the school forfeited both income opportunities and environmental advantages of self-generated renewable power consumption.
In brief
How an education network achieved significant energy savings through UrbanChain's energy operating system.
Outcome of partnership
THE
OUTCOMES.
16% ADDITIONAL INCOME
16% additional income from renewable generation compared with standard grid export rates — a significant uplift from the same physical assets.
INTERNAL VALUE RETENTION
Solar generation kept within the network and consumed directly, rather than being exported at below-consumption rates.
SURPLUS FULLY UTILISED
Surplus energy during weekends and holidays redirected to other school sites — improving efficiency across the whole portfolio.
GREATER ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
Reduced reliance on grid imports across the school's network, improving self-sufficiency and long-term energy cost predictability.
Agriculture Agriculture (Generator)
Due to the scale of their energy asset, many suppliers declined to work a leading agricultural business, leaving the company without a reliable route to market.
Commercial Property Commercial Property Owner
How a commercial property owner reduced energy costs and carbon footprint using UrbanChain's local energy marketplace.
Commercial Property Commercial Property
A commercial property manager with over 300 retail units, consuming around 256 GWh of energy annually, faced a fragmented energy setup: multiple suppliers, contracts, rates, and account structures across their portfolio.
