Canford

Canford Renewable Energy has operated a power station in Dorset since 1997. They began with a simple model: capture the gas escaping from a sealed landfill and burn it in seven engines to generate electricity. When the landfill was sealed in 2010 and gas output began to decline, most sites in that position would have wound down. Canford went the other way, installing solar panels across the capped land and building a private wire to supply on-site businesses directly.

One grid connection, three ways to earn from it.

Idle capacity, put to work

Canford's grid connection took years to secure, and would be nearly impossible to get today. Rather than let it sit idle as gas declined, they added solar and a private wire, and tem prices all three off the same connection.

One commercial position, not three contracts

Most multi-technology sites get priced and sold as three separate deals. tem prices Canford's gas, solar and private-wire supply as one position against a single view of the wholesale market, so decisions on one technology shape the others in real time.

Managed, not absorbed

At 15 GWh a year, a 5% improvement in Canford's export price is worth tens of thousands of pounds annually. tem actively manages when and how generation is sold to capture that upside.

A stable foundation to build from

A stable foundation to build from

Canford now earns from gas, solar and a direct supply to on-site tenants at once, rather than depending on one gradually shrinking source. Revenue from generation is up and import costs are down, with pricing that is actively managed and explained rather than fixed and left alone. That stability gives Rob Dowding’s team the confidence to keep investing in a site that has already run for nearly 30 years.
