We work with renewable energy
Renewable assets earn money around the clock - but only while you can see them. AD plants, solar farms and wind sites sit in 4G blackspots, run industrial control systems that are increasingly targeted, and need telemetry flowing back to head office without interruption. Fresh Tech keeps remote energy sites connected, monitored and secure across Shropshire, Herefordshire, Powys and Worcestershire - because for you, data visibility is revenue.
What renewable energy deal with
These aren't hypothetical; they're the issues we fix every week.
AD plants and solar farms are often in 4G blackspots with no fibre for miles. Without a reliable connection, telemetry stops, remote monitoring goes blind, and you can't see generation, faults, or feedstock data until someone physically drives to site.
The SCADA and PLC systems that monitor and control your plant were rarely designed with internet security in mind, yet they're increasingly exposed and targeted. A compromised control system isn't just a data breach - it's a safety and generation risk.
Control rooms and plant cabins are damp, cold, dusty and a long way from a clean server room. Standard office kit doesn't survive, and a failed switch or router in a remote cabin can take a site offline for days.
Generation doesn't keep office hours. A monitoring outage at 2am or a control fault over a bank holiday can mean lost export and missed alarms - so the IT behind it needs proactive monitoring, not a Monday-morning ticket.
What we do for you
We deploy Starlink satellite broadband with 4G/5G backup for genuine uptime in rural locations, and we'll be honest about which works best at your site. See Strategic Projects and Cloud Solutions.
We put encrypted, private links between your industrial monitoring systems and head office, keeping control systems off the public internet and segmented away from general traffic via our Cyber Security approach.
Environmental sensors for server-room temperature, humidity and power, plus device monitoring across every site - so we spot a failing switch or an over-heating cabin before it takes generation offline.
Round-the-clock monitoring and alerting via our Managed IT Support, with our 24/7 Huntress SOC watching for threats to your connected control systems.
