How TSG is Driving the UK's Energy Transition
By Cheryl Ashton, Marketing Coordinator, TSG UK
Laying the Foundations for a Decentralised Future
As the UK advances towards a low-carbon economy, the spotlight is shifting from energy generation to infrastructure. The transition to decentralised, renewable power demands more than ambition; it requires robust, scalable systems that can support electrification, automation and resilience across every sector. TSG UK is at the forefront of this transformation, delivering high-voltage connections, battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar installations and Independent Connection Provider (ICP) services that help businesses thrive in a changing energy landscape.
High-Voltage Infrastructure: The Backbone of Modern Industry
From logistics parks and data centres to airports and industrial estates, high-voltage (HV) connections are the lifeblood of operational continuity. TSG Power designs and installs HV and medium-voltage (MV) systems tailored to each site’s unique requirements, enabling safe, efficient transmission from the grid to on-site distribution.
With full National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS) accreditation and Lloyd’s Register certification, TSG Power is trusted to deliver complex infrastructure with precision. Its in-house teams manage every stage, from trenching and cable jointing to switchgear installation and commissioning, maintaining consistency, quality and accountability throughout.
Battery Storage: Unlocking Flexibility and Resilience
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are rapidly becoming vital to the UK’s energy strategy. They facilitate peak shaving, load shifting and backup power, while supporting the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources. TSG provides advanced BESS solutions that help clients optimise energy use, lower costs and strengthen grid resilience.
Each project commences with a comprehensive feasibility study, which includes site analysis, regulatory review and financial modelling. TSG’s specialists provide clear insights into battery discharge duration, system performance and return on investment, enabling clients to make well-informed decisions. From procurement to commissioning, every installation is executed to the highest standard of safety and quality, with ongoing maintenance packages that ensure long-term performance.
Solar Solutions for Scalable Sustainability
As energy prices rise and grid pressure intensifies, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems offer a clean, cost-effective alternative. TSG Power designs and installs large-scale solar solutions for commercial and industrial clients, helping them reduce operational costs and meet sustainability targets.
Whether rooftop, ground-mounted or integrated with battery storage, each system is engineered for maximum output and future scalability. TSG’s solar specialists conduct thorough site assessments and use historical consumption data to design installations that align with business objectives. With full Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) and ICP capability, TSG ensures seamless project delivery from feasibility to energisation.
EV Infrastructure: Powering the Mobility Shift
The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is reshaping transport, and infrastructure is the key to its success. TSG supports forecourts, workplaces, retail parks and logistics depots with smart, scalable EV charging solutions. These systems are designed not only for today’s needs but for tomorrow’s growth, with artificial intelligence (AI) playing a vital role in optimisation and management.
Fuel retailers are ideally placed to lead the charge, transforming forecourts into EV hubs that attract new customers and unlock additional revenue. TSG’s turnkey service covers everything from grid connection and charger installation to maintenance and compliance, helping forecourt owners future-proof their sites with minimal disruption.
Fleet Electrification: A Strategic Imperative
Fleet operators face mounting pressure to decarbonise. TSG delivers depot-based charging systems for electric vans, trucks and buses, including ultra-high-power direct current (DC) chargers capable of supporting intensive energy demands. These solutions are often paired with solar generation and battery storage to manage energy use more efficiently and reduce grid dependency.
Tools like TSG’s ChargeLOG platform provide real-time oversight, enabling operators to monitor energy use, optimise charging schedules and control costs. With tailored systems and expert support, fleet electrification becomes a strategic advantage rather than a logistical challenge.
Smart Infrastructure: AI at the Helm
As EV networks grow in complexity, AI is becoming indispensable. Intelligent platforms analyse usage patterns, predict demand and balance energy loads, ensuring infrastructure is deployed where it is needed most. For operators, this means making educated investment decisions, improving efficiency and enhancing the user experience.
AI also supports predictive maintenance, dynamic pricing and automated scheduling, making EV charging more intuitive and reliable. In short, AI is the brain behind the infrastructure, transforming data into actionable insights and helping businesses stay ahead of the curve.
Grid Connection: Simplifying the Complex
Securing a reliable power supply is often the most challenging part of any energy project. TSG UK, through its wholly owned ICP subsidiary UCP Choice, delivers seamless, compliant grid connections for commercial and industrial clients. As a NERS-accredited provider, TSG is authorised to carry out contestable works in coordination with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), offering clients greater flexibility, faster implementation and tighter cost control.
From feasibility studies and load calculations to trenching, cable laying and energisation, TSG manages every aspect in-house. This integrated approach promotes consistency, quality and long-term reliability, particularly for forecourts and other high-dependency environments.
Maintenance: The Unsung Hero of Energy Success
Infrastructure is only as good as its upkeep. TSG Power provides comprehensive service and maintenance packages across all systems, including HV connections, BESS, solar and EV charging. These cover routine inspections, diagnostics, emergency response and lifecycle planning, helping clients avoid downtime, extend asset lifespan and remain compliant with evolving regulations.
Preventive maintenance is especially critical for EV chargers and battery systems, where performance and reliability directly impact customer experience and operational continuity. With 24/7 support and rapid-response capabilities, TSG provides peace of mind and protects every investment.
A Partner for the Energy Transition
TSG UK is more than a contractor. It is a strategic partner for businesses navigating the complexities of the UK’s energy transition. With deep technical expertise, certified credentials and a commitment to long-term success, TSG helps organisations decarbonise, decentralise and digitise their energy operations.
Whether delivering high-voltage infrastructure, deploying battery storage or enabling EV growth, TSG builds systems that are scalable, resilient and ready for the future. In a world where energy is no longer just a utility but a strategic asset, TSG ensures its clients are grid-ready and future-proof.
