Energy asset holders

Commercial value from underutilised power

Convert surplus energy into a productive asset

IGS works with energy asset holders that have surplus or low-cost energy and are looking to convert it into a productive revenue stream. This both improves asset utilisation and strengthens environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

Whether your priority is commercial diversification, grid balancing, or enhancing sustainability credentials, we can provide the technology, data, and scientific expertise needed to turn excess energy into long-term value.

The challenges

faced by energy asset holders today

Energy utilisation

Energy asset holders may face diminishing returns on energy assets

ESG performance

Excess energy makes it harder to demonstrate credible, measurable environmental and social impact

Pricing volatility

Organisations may also be victim to longer-term pricing instability and market volatility, increasing operational costs

Double marginalisation

When selling excess energy, energy producers receive a fraction of the wholesale price

The advantages

of co-locating with an IGS vertical farm

Stability

Embedding vertical farming technology alongside existing operations opens an additional reliable, year-round revenue stream

Scalable infrastructure

Modular systems mean that the farm can be built according to available energy capacity, upsizing over time without disrupting ongoing operations

Location agnostic

Deploy close to energy generation or consumption points, including industrial or grid-constrained locations, optimising operational costs and logistics

Energy efficiency

We optimise both power consumption and resource usage, helping to lower operational costs

ESG aligned

Vertical farming enables circular, pesticide-free food production, supporting sustainability goals and offsetting excess energy usage
