Community-scale battery storage for a smarter, more resilient future grid
Local battery networks, intelligently connected
We believe distributed, community-scale battery systems will play a vital role in the future of the UK electricity grid.
By connecting coordinated local batteries directly to the grid and optimising them through advanced AI, we can support renewable energy integration, improve local grid resilience, and help unlock more viable community solar projects - all while making use of small urban spaces that would otherwise go unused.
How we work
-
AI Intelligence
Advanced AI and IoT systems optimise local battery networks in real time, helping improve grid resilience, support renewable energy integration, and reduce the risk of power cuts.
-
Battery Infrastructure
Strengthening local energy networks with intelligently managed battery systems into underused urban and community spaces to support renewable energy and grid resilience.
-
Local Energy Resilience
Building intelligent local battery energy networks that support UK energy security, and deliver meaningful long-term benefits for local communities.
Envol Energy operates and optimises community-scale battery systems, helping local energy assets deliver value while strengthening the grid where it most needs support.
What we do
Strengthening housing developments and communities with local energy storage
By integrating community-scale battery systems, housing developers and social housing providers can improve local energy efficiency, reduce network losses, and support rising electricity demand from EV charging and heat pumps, particularly when installed alongside rooftop solar. Connected directly into the local grid, our systems strengthen local energy resilience without the operational and maintenance challenges often associated with individual domestic battery installations.
Flexible micro-grids to support the Government’s Local Power Plan
Using intelligently connected community-scale batteries, Local Authorities are helping to support rising electricity demand from EV charging, heat pumps, and rooftop solar while strengthening the resilience of their local energy networks. With a compact footprint suitable for small parcels of underused land, our flexible micro-grid approach helps unlock smarter, more localised energy infrastructure for future communities.
Supporting community energy projects with local battery storage
Our community-scale battery systems help community energy groups maximise the value of locally generated renewable electricity while strengthening the resilience of their local energy networks. By storing excess power and deploying it when community demand is highest, our systems support smarter local energy sharing, improve the viability of rooftop and community solar schemes, and help more renewable energy stay within the communities where it is generated.
