Energy infrastructure services designed for real-world demands

IGNITE-DEC by Distributed Energy Connections delivers integrated energy infrastructure services for organisations operating in constrained, high-demand, or resilience-critical environments.

Our services are designed to address practical challenges — from limited grid capacity to rising energy costs — while supporting long-term operational certainty and decarbonisation objectives.
Rather than offering standalone technologies, IGNITE-DEC provides joined-up energy infrastructure solutions, combining engineering design, commercial structuring, and delivery expertise.

Behind-the-meter battery storage

Behind-the-meter battery systems are a core component of modern energy infrastructure. IGNITE-DEC designs and delivers battery solutions that enable organisations to manage demand, reduce peak load exposure, and improve resilience during periods of grid stress.

Battery systems can support:

  • Peak shaving and demand management

  • Improved operational resilience

  • Reduced reliance on constrained grid connections

  • Better integration with on-site generation

Each system is designed around site-specific load profiles and operational priorities, ensuring performance aligns with real-world use.

On-site power generation

On-site power generation provides dependable, controllable energy where grid capacity is limited or resilience is critical. IGNITE-DEC delivers gas-fired and hybrid generation solutions tailored to site requirements, operational risk, and regulatory context.

These systems are particularly effective for organisations that require:

  • Assured power availability

  • Greater control over energy supply

  • Reduced exposure to grid disruption

On-site generation is assessed alongside wider infrastructure requirements to ensure compliance, efficiency, and long-term viability.

Hybrid energy systems

Hybrid energy systems combine battery storage, on-site generation, and grid interaction to deliver flexible, resilient power solutions. IGNITE-DEC designs hybrid systems that adapt to variable demand while supporting operational continuity.

Hybrid configurations are especially suited to:

  • Sites with fluctuating energy loads

  • Critical infrastructure environments

  • Organisations balancing resilience and carbon objectives

By integrating multiple technologies, hybrid systems provide greater control and improved performance under constrained conditions.

Grid connections and site optimisation

Grid constraints are increasingly shaping development and operational decisions. IGNITE-DEC brings deep expertise in grid connections, working across gas and electricity networks to unlock capacity and optimise site performance.

Early-stage assessment helps:

  • Identify viable connection strategies

  • Reduce delivery risk and delays

  • Avoid costly redesigns later in the project lifecycle

This proactive approach enables informed decision-making and smoother project delivery.

EV and HGV charging infrastructure

As electrification accelerates, EV and HGV charging infrastructure must be designed as part of a wider energy system — not bolted on. IGNITE-DEC delivers charging solutions that align with site capacity, resilience requirements, and operational use.

Charging infrastructure is assessed alongside:

  • Existing energy demand

  • Battery and generation options

  • Grid limitations and future growth

This ensures charging solutions are scalable, reliable, and commercially viable.

Asset finance and flexible delivery

A defining feature of IGNITE-DEC is its ability to structure projects with no upfront capital investment. Through flexible asset finance models, energy infrastructure can be deployed quickly without diverting capital from core business activities.

This approach enables organisations to:

  • Accelerate infrastructure delivery

  • Reduce financial risk

  • Preserve balance sheet flexibility

  • Achieve predictable long-term outcomes

Delivered end-to-end

All IGNITE-DEC services are delivered through a structured, end-to-end process — from feasibility and design through to installation, commissioning, and optimisation. This ensures accountability, clarity, and consistent performance throughout the project lifecycle.
