Renewable Energy for Businesses

Scotland leads the UK in renewable generation – over 87% of our electricity now comes from wind, hydro, and solar sources.
For local businesses, it’s a genuine opportunity to cut costs, reduce risk, and build resilience.

At Edinburgh Energy Hub, we help Scottish companies make renewables part of their energy plan, whether that’s switching to a green tariff, installing solar panels, or starting their journey toward net-zero.

Why Renewables Make Business Sense


Energy prices in the UK are volatile, but generation costs for solar and wind have fallen by over 60% in the last decade.
When you invest in renewables or choose a supplier with a strong renewable mix, you’re protecting your business from future price shocks.

  • Predictable costs: Many green tariffs offer stable pricing.
  • Brand value: Clients increasingly expect sustainable suppliers.
  • Compliance: Moves you closer to Scotland’s 2045 net-zero goal.
  • Efficiency: Renewable audits often uncover wasted energy use.

Your Renewable Options

We work with trusted installers and energy providers to match each business with the right renewable path, making sure they’re practical, affordable, and realistic for your site.

  • Green Tariffs – Choose suppliers that generate electricity from renewable sources.
  • Solar PV Systems – Generate your own power, especially effective for warehouses and daytime operations.
  • Wind Microgeneration – Viable for rural sites with consistent wind exposure.
  • Battery Storage – Store surplus energy for use during peak hours.

Is Solar Worth It in Scotland?

Yes – when it’s done properly.
While Scotland isn’t known for sunshine, modern solar panels work efficiently even under cloud cover.
The key is accurate design and usage alignment: you get the best return when daytime operations consume what your panels generate.

We’ll connect you with local installers who understand Scottish conditions and can provide realistic payback estimates.

How to Switch to a Green Energy Supplier

Switching to a green supplier is as simple as changing any other tariff, but with one key difference: transparency.
We check that your new supplier’s renewable claims are backed by REGO certificates (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin), not just marketing language.

Once verified, we’ll show you side-by-side comparisons with standard tariffs, so you can see the environmental and financial impact clearly.

Integrating Renewables with Net-Zero Planning

Renewables are a major building block of net-zero strategies. By generating or sourcing cleaner power, you immediately reduce your business’s carbon footprint and future-proof against policy changes or carbon taxes.
