Case studies

Aiming to optimise the use of large solar PV arrays on multiple domestic rooftops in order to maximise generation, deliver a net positive development and mitigate risks to the local network operations.

Looking at how a largely residential community with several energy assets, including battery storage, can change energy use patterns, generation and storage to balance the grid locally and benefit the local community.

Developing a ‘Zero Carbon Energy Action Plan’ for the Eynsham primary substation area plus a plan for its long-term governance.

Looking at how with the existing solar and onshore wind farms, along with potential battery storage, they could participate in local flexibility markets.

‘Osney Supercharge’ is working with local residents to generate and store their own electricity and reduce demand on the electricity network and supporting a small densely populated urban area to switch to electric vehicles (EVs).

A trial aiming to understand how we can enable a zero carbon future for a rural community with planning constraints.
