How Businesses Can Shield Themselves from Rising Energy Prices in 2026 and Beyond
Energy bills for UK businesses are on the rise once again. From November 2025, the government introduced the RAB Nuclear Levy – a long-term charge added to every electricity bill to help fund new nuclear infrastructure. While the levy may appear small on paper, its impact grows quickly for organisations with high electricity usage. Combined with ongoing market volatility, many companies are facing more uncertainty than ever before.
The question isn’t if costs will increase, but how businesses can protect themselves.
At GGRS, we believe the smartest solution is simple: take control of your own energy generation, with commercial solar panels.
Why Commercial Solar Panels Are the Answer
Commercial solar panel installation enables businesses to produce clean, low-cost electricity directly on-site. Rather than relying solely on the grid – and the additional charges that come with it – organisations can generate a significant proportion of the power they use each day.
With energy price increases likely to continue, this shift towards decentralised energy gives companies a way to stabilise their costs long-term.

Strengthening Your Energy Strategy with Battery Storage
Pairing commercial solar panels with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) enables your business to capture excess power during daylight hours and store it for later use. This means you can:
- Use stored energy during peak-price periods
- Reduce exposure to grid fluctuations and levies
- Maximise the value of every kilowatt produced on-site
Learn more about commercial solar battery storage options. This combination of solar PV + BESS is one of the most effective ways to build energy resilience while lowering long-term operating costs.
The Benefits of Solar Panels for Businesses
Adopting a renewable energy system delivers a range of commercial advantages:
- Lower energy bills: Generate a reliable supply of your own electricity and reduce your reliance on the national grid.
- Protection from future price increases: With solar systems offering predictable performance for 25+ years, businesses can achieve far greater financial stability.
- Reduced carbon footprint: Meet sustainability targets and support your environmental commitments.
- Improved energy independence: On-site generation helps safeguard your operations from unpredictable market conditions.
