Renewable energy solutions for Transport
Helping the transport sector boost efficiency and save on costs
Transport operations rely on energy every day, from vehicle fleets and depots to offices and supporting infrastructure. Rising fuel and electricity costs, alongside growing pressure to decarbonise, mean the transport sector is facing significant change. At RES, we help transport organisations prepare for this transition by supporting the energy behind their operations. From managing power demand at depots to planning for EV charging and long-term decarbonisation, our approach is designed to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and ensure energy infrastructure is ready to support the next generation of transport.
Adaptable renewable solutions for the transport sector
EV charging points
EV charging is central to the transition towards electric fleets. Installing chargers at depots and operational sites helps future-proof transport operations, support phased fleet electrification, and reduce reliance on public charging networks.
Solar
panels
Depots often have large roof areas and daytime energy demand, making solar PV a strong fit. On-site generation can help offset electricity used for charging vehicles, offices, and on-site equipment, reducing long-term energy costs.
Battery storage solutions
Battery storage helps manage increased power demand caused by fleet charging, reducing strain on grid connections. It can store energy for use during peak charging periods and support more flexible, cost-effective charging strategies.
Energy monitoring
Energy monitoring provides visibility across depots and sites, helping track consumption, identify inefficiencies, and plan charging schedules more effectively. This insight supports better decision-making as fleets transition to electric.
Energy procurement
We help transport organisations secure energy contracts that reflect depot demand, charging requirements, and operational hours. Our approach supports better budget planning and reduces exposure to unpredictable price changes as electricity use increases.
Energy management
We support energy performance across depots through monitoring and ongoing insight, helping highlight usage trends and reduce avoidable waste. Where fleets are transitioning to electric, this visibility also supports smarter planning for charging demand and future infrastructure.
Energy strategy
We help build a clear plan for the energy behind fleet transition. From assessing future power requirements to planning infrastructure upgrades and phased investment, we support long-term decision-making that keeps transport sites ready for what’s next.
End-to-end energy solutions
Transport organisations are balancing day-to-day reliability with the shift towards lower-carbon fleets. We support depots and transport sites with a joined-up approach to energy, combining procurement, ongoing performance insight, and long-term planning. This helps reduce operating costs, manage growing electricity demand, and prepare infrastructure for fleet electrification without disrupting services.
Benefits of renewable energy for transport
The transport sector is facing increasing pressure to reduce emissions while maintaining reliable, cost-effective operations. Renewable energy provides a practical way to support this transition by lowering long-term energy costs and reducing exposure to volatile markets.
For depots and transport sites, renewables can help stabilise energy spend as electricity demand grows, particularly as fleets begin to electrify. On-site generation and smarter energy use also support operational resilience, ensuring infrastructure is better prepared for future demand.
