Information on TSG Power...

1. What is TSG Power?

TSG Power is a specialist division of TSG UK, delivering scalable, future-ready energy infrastructure for commercial and industrial clients. We design, install and maintain large-scale solar PV systems, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), high-voltage electrical infrastructure and Independent Connection Provider (ICP) services across the UK.

2. What types of businesses benefit from TSG Power solutions?

TSG Power supports energy-intensive sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, warehousing, data centres and public infrastructure. Our solutions are ideal for organisations aiming to reduce energy costs, enhance resilience and achieve sustainability goals.

3. What is an Independent Connection Provider (ICP)?

An ICP is an accredited contractor authorised to carry out contestable works on the electricity network. TSG Power, through our wholly owned ICP UCP Choice, provides seamless, compliant grid connections for high-, medium- and low-voltage systems, working in coordination with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs).

4. What are the benefits of installing a large-scale solar PV system?

Solar PV systems help reduce reliance on the grid, lower electricity bills and cut carbon emissions. For businesses with high daytime energy use and available roof or land space, solar offers a strong return on investment (ROI) and supports long-term sustainability goals.

5. Can solar power my entire business?

While full energy independence is possible, most businesses use solar to offset a significant portion of their electricity usage. When combined with battery storage, solar systems can provide backup power, reduce peak demand charges and enhance energy security.

6. What is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)?

A BESS stores excess electricity for use during peak demand, overnight or during grid outages. It enables businesses to optimise energy use, reduce costs and participate in grid services such as demand-side response.

7. What are the benefits of battery storage for businesses?

Battery storage supports peak shaving, load shifting, backup power and renewable integration. It helps reduce energy bills, improve grid resilience and unlock new revenue opportunities through energy trading and ancillary services.

8. How does TSG Power support BESS projects?

We manage the full lifecycle of BESS deployment, from feasibility studies and financial modelling to installation, commissioning and maintenance. Our team ensures each system is tailored to your site, energy profile and commercial objectives.

9. What maintenance is required for solar and battery systems?

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity. TSG Power offers comprehensive service packages, including remote monitoring, diagnostics, scheduled inspections and rapid-response repairs.

10. What challenges are associated with grid-scale battery storage?

Challenges include regulatory complexity, grid connection delays, material cost volatility and battery degradation. TSG Power helps clients navigate these issues with expert guidance, robust planning and proven technologies.

11. How does TSG Power ensure compliance and safety?

All projects are delivered to the highest quality, health, safety and environmental (QHSE) standards. We conduct rigorous testing, adhere to industry regulations and provide full documentation to ensure compliance and peace of mind.

12. Can TSG Power help with high-voltage infrastructure?

Yes. TSG Power designs, installs and maintains HV, MV and LV electrical systems for mission-critical environments. Our services include switchgear, transformers, smart metering and full electrical integration from grid to building.

13. How long does installation take?

Timelines vary depending on project size, site conditions and grid approvals. TSG Power provides clear project plans and dedicated management to ensure timely delivery and minimal disruption.

14. Is financial support available for solar or storage projects?

Yes. Businesses may benefit from incentives such as the Annual Investment Allowance or participation in grid services. TSG Power can advise on available options and provide ROI modelling to support investment decisions.

15. Why choose TSG Power?
