Solar as an EPC and MEES strategy
Newham has a large commercial landlord base around Stratford and the Royal Docks. Rooftop solar is one of the most cost-effective ways for landlords to improve EPC ratings ahead of the 2027 MEES minimum (EPC C) and 2030 target (EPC B), protecting lettable value.
Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), commercial properties in England & Wales must hit EPC C by 2027 and EPC B by 2030 to remain lettable. Rooftop solar typically lifts a commercial EPC by 1–2 grades.
