Driving the Energy Shift
Explore integrated energy solutions with TSG Power at the UK’s leading forum for real estate and infrastructure.
Introduction: A Forum for Change
The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) is the must-attend event for property and infrastructure leaders. From 19th to 21st May 2026, more than 16,000 professionals will gather in Leeds to shape the future of investment and regeneration. Among them is TSG Power, a division of TSG UK dedicated to delivering the infrastructure that underpins the transition to new energies.
UKREiiF is more than an exhibition; it is a platform for collaboration, innovation and action. It brings together developers, investors, local authorities and industry specialists to tackle the challenges of sustainable growth. For businesses planning new developments, the message is clear: the energy landscape is changing, and the time to act is now. TSG Power helps business owners to embrace this change with integrated solutions that combine solar generation, battery storage and high-voltage grid connections under one roof.
Driving the Energy Transition
The UK’s journey to net zero is accelerating. Rising energy costs, grid constraints and sustainability mandates are reshaping how businesses power their operations. For property developers and industrial operators, energy is no longer a utility; it is a strategic asset that influences project viability and long-term value.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are at the heart of this transformation. Together, they enable businesses to generate clean electricity, store excess energy and reduce their reliance on the grid. When paired with robust high-voltage infrastructure and delivered through an accredited Independent Connections Provider (ICP), these technologies form a resilient energy ecosystem built for performance and longevity.
Decentralisation is key. By generating and storing energy on-site, businesses gain independence from volatile tariffs and grid limitations. This approach not only improves operational resilience but also strengthens Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials, a growing priority for investors and stakeholders.
Turnkey Solutions for Developers
TSG simplifies complexity. From feasibility studies and design to installation and energisation, TSG delivers a complete service that covers:
o High-voltage and medium-voltage connections – The backbone of modern developments, ensuring safe, efficient distribution from the grid to site.
o Solar PV systems – Rooftop, ground-mounted or integrated into solar carports, engineered for maximum output and scalability.
o Battery storage – Unlocking flexibility and resilience, enabling peak shaving, load shifting and backup power.
o EV infrastructure – Supporting fleet electrification and future-proofing developments with smart charging solutions.
o Electrical design and installation by Skerritts – Delivering expert electrical engineering and contracting services for energy-efficient buildings and greener infrastructure.
This integrated approach gives clients a single point of contact and complete peace of mind. It reduces delays, avoids compliance risks and ensures every element works seamlessly together. It is a strategy designed to balance return on investment with sustainability goals, delivering infrastructure that meets stringent green credentials and is ready for the end-user.
Why Now?
The momentum behind solar and battery storage is undeniable. Over 1.7 million solar installations are active in the UK, with commercial adoption growing steadily. Government incentives, zero VAT on solar panels and batteries until 2027, and tax relief schemes make the financial case stronger than ever.
Battery storage adds another layer of value. By storing energy when tariffs are low and using it when prices rise, businesses can reduce costs and even generate revenue by exporting surplus electricity to the grid. These systems also support grid stability and enable participation in schemes such as Demand Side Response, creating new income streams while reinforcing sustainability credentials.
For developers, the opportunity is clear: integrated energy solutions are no longer optional; they are essential for future-ready projects. They enhance ESG performance, strengthen supply chain relationships and build trust with customers, investors and regulators. In short, they turn sustainability into a strategic advantage.
