Commercial & Operational Power

Solar, storage and backup power. One accountable project.

Commercial solar, battery storage, backup power and remote or off-grid power for organisations with operational requirements — coordinated by Forces, delivered by appropriately qualified providers.

Regulated electrical work is performed by licensed providers for the relevant jurisdiction.

Concept visual

Strategic rollout

Four energy scopes to explore.

Scope solar, storage, backup or remote power around the site’s operating needs. This is not a fully live product line; site assessment, provider capacity and support responsibilities are agreed for each requirement.
