Renewable energy solutions for wholesalers
Helping wholesalers boost sustainability and save costs
Wholesalers operate energy-intensive sites that often combine large warehouses, offices, and distribution activity under one roof. Long operating hours, high lighting demand, refrigeration, and vehicle movements mean energy costs can have a significant impact on margins. At RES, we support wholesalers with practical energy solutions designed around how distribution and storage sites actually operate. Our focus is on reducing overheads, improving efficiency across facilities, and supporting long-term sustainability — without disrupting day-to-day operations or delivery schedules.
Tailored renewable solutions for manufacturers
CHP (combined heat & power)
Wholesalers with large facilities and consistent heat and electricity demand can benefit from CHP systems. CHP improves overall efficiency by generating heat and power together, making it well suited to distribution centres with long operating hours or temperature-controlled environments.
Solar PV solutions
Warehouses often have large, roof surface areas that are ideal for solar PV. On-site generation can help offset daytime electricity demand from lighting, equipment, and office areas, reducing reliance on the grid, supporting long-term cost stability and sustainability.
LED lighting and IoT controls
LED lighting upgrades deliver immediate efficiency gains across warehouses, packing areas, offices, and more. When paired with IoT controls such as motion sensors and zoning, lighting can respond to real activity levels, reducing unnecessary usage and saving consumption in low-traffic areas.
Energy monitoring
Energy monitoring provides clear visibility of consumption across large facilities, helping wholesalers identify inefficiencies, track performance, and prioritise where to make improvements. This insight supports more informed energy usage and cost management without directly impacting operations.
Energy procurement
We help wholesalers approach energy purchasing with a clear understanding of site usage and operational patterns. By reviewing contracts and procurement strategy, we support more predictable costs and reduce exposure to price volatility.
Energy management
Warehouses have varied energy demands across lighting, equipment, and temperature-controlled areas. We provide insight into how energy is being used, helping identify inefficiencies and reduce avoidable consumption while keeping operations running smoothly.
Energy strategy
We support wholesalers with practical, long-term energy planning that aligns cost reduction with sustainability goals. From prioritising upgrades across facilities to planning future investment, we help build energy strategies that support operational efficiency and resilience.
A smarter energy approach
Wholesale sites combine storage, distribution, offices, and high-throughput activity, often operating long hours to meet delivery demand. We help wholesalers take a coordinated approach to energy that reflects how these facilities actually run. By bringing together procurement, ongoing performance support, and long-term planning, we help reduce overheads, improve efficiency, and support sustainable growth without disrupting operations.
Benefits of renewable energy for wholesalers
Wholesale businesses operate on tight margins, with energy costs playing a significant role in day-to-day overheads. Renewable energy can help reduce long-term energy spend and improve stability, particularly for large warehouse and distribution sites with high electricity demand.
Renewable energy also supports operational resilience. Smarter energy use across sites helps wholesalers plan more effectively, manage demand, and maintain consistent performance as business needs change.
