Flow to renewable energy

Reducing reliance on the grid.

Supporting Metallink Fluid Power Systems with their Renewable Energy Technology Review.

Our client wanted to reduce emissions and explore renewable energy options but needed clarity on where to begin

Their priority was understanding whether on-site solar PV could reliably support their high-demand manufacturing operations without disruption.

The challenge

Metallink Fluid Power Systems operates a busy manufacturing facility with substantial electricity needs. The challenge was identifying the most practical and effective way to integrate solar PV into existing infrastructure while maintaining uninterrupted production.

What we did

We carried out a full renewable energy technology review to understand the feasibility and impact of on-site solar PV. This included:

  • Assessing the site’s physical, electrical, and operational suitability for installation
  • Modelling projected energy generation and carbon reduction outcomes
  • Exploring system options across multiple providers to compare technical designs
  • Securing a trusted delivery partner to design and install a bespoke solution for the site

How it helped

The project provided Metallink with clear, evidence-based guidance — and ultimately supported them all the way through to installation. Their tailored solar PV system has now been successfully deployed and is generating renewable electricity directly into their operations. Metallink is reducing emissions, lowering reliance on the grid, and advancing confidently on its decarbonisation pathway with a fully operational renewable energy solution in place.

They have helped us explore different renewable energy options for our site and identified ways to fund such projects. Their expertise has enabled us to achieve cost reductions, and I have found them to be fully transparent and trustworthy in all our dealings, which is rare in this industry.
Over the past 2-3 years, Pause People has been a great support for me and B&L. We’ve worked together to strategise different options for our business and collaborated on multiple projects. Their input and partnership have been invaluable, and I look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.
They are helpful when it comes to customer service, answering any questions we may have and offering advice on how to get the best deals. Overall, they are a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient energy purchasing and carbon management service.
