Green energy & net zero developments

SociumX is the partner that will support you with green energy and net-zero developments in your transition to net zero. We bring a sustainable approach to developing projects, identifying green energy opportunities to drive projects through our expert in-house development team and portfolio companies. Together, our complementary skill sets deliver successful development outcomes across the key area of renewable energy resources. 

Solar 

The global solar sector is growing exponentially, and there are several benefits for businesses that choose to invest in onsite solar power generation. Investing in onsite solar can help companies and homeowners save money and reduce their climate impact. Producing electricity onsite also reduces exposure to volatile energy prices.

SociumX can provide solar advisory services to help you navigate the practicalities of solar investment. Questions often reside around - How quickly will a solar system start saving money? Does it take a long time to install? What are the financing options available? 

We can provide technical, commercial, and financial viability advice to help you embrace this simple, reliable, and flexible way to reduce costs and carbon emissions, installing an onsite solar system through the process from start to finish.  

Wind 

Wind energy currently supplies over 3% of global electricity consumption and this is expected to exceed 6% by 2023. In the longer term (by 2040), the International Energy Agency forecasts that wind energy could meet 9% of global electricity demand and more than 20% of demand in Europe.

Wind energy is a source of renewable energy. It does not contaminate, it is inexhaustible and reduces the use of fossil fuels, which are the origin of greenhouse gasses that cause global warming. 

For these reasons, producing electricity through wind energy and its efficient use contributes to sustainable development in the built environment. 

SociumX helps our clients achieve renewable energy and decarbonisation goals with strategic investment strategies and due diligence. We are here to help address the urgent challenge of climate change and create a sustainable and equitable future for all. 

Geo-thermal 

SociumX is proud of its geothermal power development and investment consulting in this often misunderstood sector. We offer a comprehensive suite of design and consulting services that can take a project from start to finish.

We provide consulting for initial concept studies, feasibility studies and technical due diligence of existing projects. We offer geothermal exploration, evaluation of geothermal fields and world-leading reservoir modelling consulting, drilling consulting, tendering of drilling services and management during drilling. 

Our experience in engineering and know-how in steam-field and power plant design is formidable and SociumX are firm believers that there are many untapped opportunities to demystify and deploy this natural resource in certain geographies. 

Water conservation 

The SociumX team includes specialist engineers who provide technical consulting services, specific to the water and environmental sectors of engineering, supported by an alliance of investment partners. Most of our work is carried out in the support of planning applications for the re-development of commercial and domestic sites. We offer full asset lifecycle management  

We also provide advice on drainage, flooding and environmental issues on existing sites. Projects range from single-villa developments up to large-scale developments with hundreds of homes and major government projects. 

Through innovative solutions, SociumX is helping clients outperform business plan targets both in terms of cost and embedded/operational carbon. Our commitment is finding solutions for the future’s challenges, today. 

Urban farming 

Urban farming - the practice of growing food in urban spaces - is being recognised globally as a solution with possibilities for food relief and food security, creating greener and more sustainable cities. Urban farms can create jobs, increase living standards and improve community wellbeing while supporting biodiversity and ecology.  

SociumX is ensuring viability and economic return from urban farming projects. Our partnerships with leading experts have the expertise to turn both indoor and outdoor areas into productive, commercially viable and engaging sites for urban agriculture and gardening.

We can help you select and assess a space for your urban farm. Based on its size and characteristics, we develop tailored solutions that include a success strategy and maintenance model.

Energy storage 

Energy storage is a key enabler of the global transition to net-zero carbon, providing essential flexibility services to the grid. SociumX is a trusted advisor in energy storage for developers and operators in the built environment. 

At SociumX, we understand the unique technical and commercial challenges presented by energy storage and, in particular, battery energy storage systems. We provide end-to-end solutions and a bespoke advisory to help you navigate:- 

  • Research and development (R&D) support for storage technologies
