Energy storage systems allow facilities to capture and store electricity. Sites can then use it when demand is higher or on-site generation is lower.

Ambrey Baker supports the design coordination and integration of energy storage systems within industrial and manufacturing environments. Sites often install these systems alongside renewable technologies such as solar PV.

As a result, they can store excess generation and use it during peak operational periods. Facilities with variable energy demand, including food manufacturing plants, cold storage facilities and data centres, can benefit from improved energy management and reduced reliance on grid supply.

Our team carefully integrates battery storage solutions with existing electrical infrastructure, plant layouts and building services.

Successful projects need clear planning around system location, ventilation and fire strategy. They also need maintenance access, cable routes, controls integration and connection to the site’s wider electrical network.

We develop projects in line with relevant statutory requirements and recognised standards, including the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and BS 7671, the UK national standard for electrical installations.

We also consider fire safety requirements and battery-specific guidance, depending on the type, scale and location of the installation.

With almost 40 years of experience in complex industrial environments, Ambrey Baker understands how to coordinate energy storage installations safely and efficiently. This also helps limit disruption to live operations. Our role is to manage the construction, infrastructure and integration requirements so that systems operate safely, support operational resilience and contribute to long-term decarbonisation objectives.
