UK manufacturing’s ability to accelerate the development of clean energy systems has been given a welcome boost.
The Clean Energy Systems Partner Alliance (CESPA) has been formed to boost onshoring manufacturing with six experts in their respective fields coming together to deliver a single source solution for innovators and developers of green tech technology.
PP Control & Automation has been joined by Danfoss, Emerson, Glacier Energy, Phoenix Contact and Voltserve, who will combine cutting-edge technologies and engineering prowess with sustainable solutions and proven production techniques.
The members bring every discipline needed to optimise and build systems – electrical, civil and structural design, renewable energy software and automation, connection technology and electronics solutions and climate, drives and power solution products.
They also have access to world class machine build and control systems and energy assets and infrastructure solutions.
“The UK renewable energy market is worth £23billion and is expected to double in value to £46bn by 2034, so you can see the opportunity is huge if we can get the approach right,” explained Richard Spears, Marketing Manager at PP Control & Automation and one of the driving forces behind the initiative.
“Demand is being driven by high living standards, strict environmental regulations and a shift towards low carbon fuels and, with CESPA, we want to ensure as much of this work is captured and delivered by UK companies.”
He continued: “We’re looking at technology involved in clean energy, hydrogen capture, Power-to-X, geothermal application and batteries, but that’s just the start. There’s lots of capability domestically, but nowhere you can go to access all of it under one roof – until now.
CESPA is continuing to explore new collaborations and is urging other technology specialists and manufacturers with complementary capabilities to get involved in the alliance. There is also a strong desire to recruit sector champions and collaborate with training providers for clean energy skills development.
