Do you cover the Humber freeport?
Yes — the Humber Freeport and its industrial estates including Alexandra Dock, Saltend and the wider port logistics belt are within our standard Yorkshire & Humber service area.
Are chemicals and process industry sites suitable for solar?
Yes — heavy process and chemicals sites typically have very large continuous daytime electrical demand, which is the ideal profile for cost-effective on-site solar.
Is Hull a viable location for commercial solar?
Yes — Hull sits in the North irradiance band (around 900–960 kWh per kWp per year), fully viable on large industrial roofs, and the Humber clean-energy economic narrative supports the business case.
