Case Study

16 Jan 2026
A commercial property owner wanted to make better use of the renewable energy generated on-site. Instead of losing value by selling excess power back to the wholesale market at lower rates, they wanted a way to transfer surplus energy to their other commercial sites.
Working with their TPI, Conserve Energy, they partnered with UrbanChain to find a solution that could deliver both cost savings and improved utilisation of their renewable assets.
Outcome of Partnership
Smart Energy Matching Platform — UrbanChain enabled the client to send excess renewable generation directly to their other properties, maximising value and efficiency across their portfolio.
Major Cost Savings — Reduced overall energy costs by 18.72%, cutting down on expensive grid imports and achieving direct bill savings.
Enabling Sustainability Benefits — Optimised renewable energy use across multiple locations, supporting both financial performance and environmental goals.
Results
- £35,000 saved annually through UrbanChain’s AI-powered platform — energy bills reduced from £187,000 to £152,000.
- 450,000 kWh renewable generation fully utilised across the client’s estate, instead of being sold back to the market.
