Commercial solar panels in Liverpool
Liverpool City Region has set a net zero carbon target of 2040. The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority's Climate Action Plan identifies commercial renewable energy as a key pathway, with solar offering the most accessible option for the region's businesses.
Liverpool's commercial property stock includes major logistics and distribution facilities around Knowsley Industrial Park (one of the largest in Europe), Speke, Halewood and Bootle. The port and maritime sector also offers substantial roof space, though structural assessments are often needed for older dock buildings.
The local DNO is SP Energy Networks (Scottish Power). Grid capacity across Merseyside varies; some areas around Knowsley and Speke have strong capacity, while inner-city areas may face constraints. SP Energy Networks' G99 processing times are typically 6–8 weeks.
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has run business support programmes including Low Carbon Eco-Innovatory and other decarbonisation schemes. Contact the Growth Platform (Liverpool's LEP successor) for current funding availability.
