Quick answer: factories PPAs in London
A solar PPA for factories & manufacturing in London typically prices at 10–14 p/kWh in year one on a 250kWp–2MWp system — versus 21–25 p/kWh grid import. The provider funds and maintains the system over 15–25 years; you buy only the power generated, with no capital outlay.
Park Royal and the case for factory solar in west London
Straddling Ealing, Brent and Hammersmith, Park Royal is one of Europe's largest concentrations of manufacturing and food-production units — exactly the kind of high-consumption base a solar power purchase agreement was designed to serve. Add the industrial cluster along the Old Kent Road and the light-industry units feeding Brent Cross, and London holds thousands of factory roofs sitting above production lines that draw current precisely when the sun is up. With the capital's average commercial energy bill near £95,000 — the steepest of any city in our data — the case for fixing a lower unit price is unusually sharp.
Why a production line fits the solar curve
Manufacturing carries a strong daytime load: presses, extruders, compressors and extraction all run through the working shift, which is exactly when a rooftop array generates. That overlap is what makes factories the sector where on-site solar earns its keep, letting a London plant self-consume most of what it produces rather than exporting it cheaply. A typical install here lands between 250kWp and 2MWp, and under a PPA the developer funds, owns and maintains it — you buy the output at a contracted 10–14p per kWh, comfortably under grid import. The how a PPA works page covers each step.
Grid, policy and the numbers
London sits in the UK Power Networks distribution region, and the Greater London Authority's 2030 net-zero target — backed by London Plan Policy SI 2, which expects PV on major new commercial development — points factory owners in one direction. For sites in the capital and out to its edges at Dartford, Watford and Slough, annual savings realistically span £35,000 to £280,000 depending on roof size and shift pattern.
