Our Case Studies: Government & Local Authority
When energy consultants TNEI were asked to create the UK’s first fully-hybridised, stand-alone and completely ‘green’ hydrogen mini-grid, UPS Systems were called upon to specify, supply, install and commission the fuel cell system designed to co-power the new Environmental Energy Technology Centre (EETC) in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
Funded by regional development agency Yorkshire Forward, the EETC is a base for businesses specialising in renewable or emerging energy industries. It is a showcase for creating a truly carbon-negative, fully … Continue reading →

Eel conservation benefits from clean, portable power
UPS Systems plc has worked with the Environment Agency using the latest fuel cell technology to provide low emission, long runtime, stand-alone power for a remote reservoir site.
Not only does this solve power supply issues in these remote areas but also helps meet carbon reduction commitments in minimising installation, maintenance and operational costs.
The number of young eels migrating into European rivers has fallen to less than 5% of 1980s … Continue reading →
