THE PROBLEM
The PROBLEM

Last year, £1 billion of clean energy was wasted in the UK. How much of it is yours?

60% of your electricity cost isn’t even for electricity. Peak-time charges, shape fees, and grid surcharges dominate your bill. Without storage, you export cheap solar and buy expensive power back.

Peak-Time Surcharges

Distribution charges spike during peak demand, inflating bills regardless of usage efficiency.

Wasted Solar Energy

Without storage, excess solar is exported for pennies — then bought back at premium peak rates.

No Visibility or Control

Most businesses can’t see where costs come from or optimise around price movements.

The Solution

Funded BESS + AI optimisation =

guaranteed savings

Q Energy installs a Battery Energy Storage System at your site at no cost and uses AI to optimise every kilowatt-hour.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the battery storage really free?

Yes. Q Energy covers the full cost of the battery hardware, installation, and AI platform. There are no upfront costs, no hidden fees, and no deposit. We make our money by providing grid balancing services through the battery — not by charging you.

What happens at the end of the contract?

At the end of the agreement, you have the option to extend, have the battery removed at no cost, or in many cases purchase the system at a significantly reduced price. You’re never locked in without options.

Will the battery affect my day-to-day operations?

Not at all. The battery operates independently of your business operations. When we use it for grid services, it’s managed by our AI to ensure your energy supply and savings are never impacted. You won’t even notice it’s happening.

What if I don’t save as much as promised?

Our guarantee means if your actual costs exceed the forecast, Q Energy covers the difference. Your savings are independently verified by a certified Measurement & Verification expert — so the numbers are always trustworthy.

Do I need planning permission for the battery?

In most cases, commercial battery installations fall under permitted development and don’t require planning permission. Our team handles all surveys, compliance, and installation logistics as part of the free service.

What size business do I need to qualify?

We typically work with businesses consuming 500,000+ kWh annually, but every site is different. If you have solar panels (or are planning to install them), we’ll assess your site and let you know if battery storage would deliver meaningful savings.
