35 Years Pioneering C&I Renewable Solutions Globally
"Too early to retire — I bring over 35 years of cross-sector experience delivering scale, transformation, and commercial impact."
As former CEO and Founder of Project Better Energy Group, Project Solar UK, and Project EV (incorporating Elco, Photon Energy and EG Solar), Simon built the UK's largest renewable energy business and a Top-3 EV charging operation — selling over 160,000 chargers to governments, large-scale tier 1 contractors and enterprises worldwide. He continues to serve as Non-Executive Director and Chief Advisor to Project Better Energy Ltd.
As former CTO of a major UK utility, Simon pioneered FFR grid services under Duracell licence (2017) and co-engineered the Duracell Battery with BYD — a landmark achievement in large-scale energy storage.
Today Simon operates as an independent consultant to the world's largest organisations — including NHS, MOD, UK Government, major supermarkets, Tier 1 banks, and serves as BESS Advisor to the Asian Development Bank.

Retail / BESS / Grid Services
Turning winter peaks into savings and carbon reductions with real-time, low-carbon operations. From just 4 pilot sites, the programme validated extraordinary financial returns — extrapolatable across 1,000+ stores and 14 distribution centres.
Commercial & Industrial Hybrid ESS Upgrade
735 kWp solar PV retrofit combined with 600 kW / 1,500 kWh BESS with instantaneous emergency backup capability — protecting critical manufacturing operations.
Off-Grid Hybrid Energy System
500 kWp solar PV combined with battery storage and generator delivering a 76% cost reduction — eliminating grid dependency for a large commercial poultry operation.
Fleet Electrification Solution
Full fleet electrification ecosystem — BYD commercial vehicles, EV charging infrastructure, back-office management, grid services revenue integration and full ESG reporting.
Critical Infrastructure Resilience
Integrated renewable energy strategy for data centre operators — combining solar, BESS, grid services and power management to achieve resilience, sustainability and cost targets.

Simon's expert analysis of the forces reshaping UK and global energy markets.
Ofgem Price Cap analysis and forward forecasts reveal the true cost of grid dependency. With prices forecast to exceed £2,100/yr by late 2026, on-site solar and battery storage is the most reliable hedge against market volatility.
Strategic Takeaway: On-site solar at 7–9p/kWh versus grid price volatility makes the investment case irrefutable.
Confirmed transmission charges rising ~62%, adding approximately 11% to large user bills. Battery storage is the primary mitigation tool — simultaneously reducing charges and generating flexibility revenue.
Action: Pass-through contracts recommended. BESS deployment essential.
Simon Peat's white paper on systemic risks facing UK energy security — Russia-Ukraine supply shocks, Middle East volatility, LNG disruption and the structural transformation needed to insulate UK commercial consumers.
Conclusion: On-site generation is the only true hedge against geopolitical energy risk.
Rising liquid fuel costs strengthen the financial case for fleet electrification. EV charging on off-peak tariffs costs just 7–9p/kWh — even cheaper when powered by own solar generation.
Strategic Takeaway: Fleet operators transitioning to EVs combined with on-site solar achieve double savings — fuel AND energy cost reduction simultaneously.
