ONSHORE WIND · SOLAR · STORAGE
Renewable electricity, day and night, without using the grid.
We develop, fund and operate solar, onshore wind and battery storage next to your site, then connect it by private wire. You buy the power at a fixed price for 10–15 years, with no capital outlay.
Talk to us about your siteDahu Energy is a UK renewable energy developer specialising in private wire projects. We originate, develop and operate solar, onshore wind and storage designed to supply cheaper, cleaner electricity directly to large, carbon-intensive electricity users.
Because that electricity never enters the public transmission or distribution network, many of the charges in a retail bill — transmission, distribution and supplier costs — are simply avoided.

OUR APPROACH
Bringing cheaper, cleaner power closer to where it's needed.
Bypassing constrained grid networks
We connect renewable generation directly to commercial and industrial users, avoiding a new grid connection between the asset and your site — and with it the network constraints, connection queues and import costs that come with the public network.
Creating value from underused land and rooftops
We identify land and infrastructure that can host new generation, from industrial rooftops and car parks to agricultural land near your site. For landowners, it becomes long-term stable income; for you, it becomes local supply.
Cheaper electricity without upfront capital
Dahu develops, finances and operates the asset, so energy-intensive businesses access competitively priced renewable power, cut emissions and improve energy security without diverting capital from core operations.
01 · HOW IT WORKS
Generation next door, wired directly to you.
The same model works with onshore wind. Where a site has the land, wind speeds or an existing consented project nearby, we develop wind — on its own or alongside solar and storage — to lift overnight and winter output when solar alone can't cover your load.
- 01
We develop nearby generation — ground-mounted solar, onshore wind, or both
- 02
Battery storage captures surplus and discharges after dark
- 03
A private cable connects directly to your site
- 04
You buy locally generated electricity first, day and night
- 05
Grid electricity only tops up when required
Who is this suitable for?
- ✓Sites consuming more than 1 GWh a year
- ✓Land available nearby, or on a viable cable route
- ✓Extended, multi-shift or 24-hour operations
- ✓Businesses that want long-term price certainty
- ✓ESG or Net Zero commitments to meet
Battery storage
Storage captures surplus solar generated during the day and discharges it after dark, extending renewable supply into the evening and overnight, reducing peak imports and improving resilience. Where ground-mounted land isn't available, rooftop solar can feed your site first instead — and where the site suits it, onshore wind can be added to the mix for a steadier year-round generation profile.
02 · THE NUMBERS
What you could actually save.
Private wire pricing is set once, for the life of the agreement. Figures are illustrative for a typical site and are refined during site assessment.
