Energy Sector Security FAQs

Physical energy security refers to the measures you put into place to protect energy generation, storage, transportation, and infrastructure. It involves a combination of security professionals (licensed by the SIA), surveillance and monitoring equipment, intruder alarms and access controls, and specialist canine handlers, all designed to protect the full lifecycle of energy production.

We advise having a solution that couples manned guarding (including mobile patrols and canine handlers) with security technology (such as CCTV cameras, intruder alarms, and access controls) to ensure comprehensive coverage. For sites that lack infrastructure (particularly remote locations, for instance), we’d recommend leaning more towards solar-powered solutions that can operate fully autonomously, like our VPODs or mobile CCTV towers.

  • Solar farms, battery storage and cabling
  • On-shore wind farms
  • Substations, generators, and National Grid infrastructure
  • Geothermal and hydroelectric plants
  • Biomass and nuclear facilities
  • Temporary generators and power sources
  • Decommissioned facilities, including former coal-fired power plants

No. We tailor all of our solutions to ensure that we deliver a solution that’s built around you, your unique site, your demands, and the scope of the project you’ve undertaken. From small, self-contained solar farms to huge biomass storage like our work at the Templeborough Power Station, we’re on hand to create a package that’s designed with you in mind.

  • Canine security teams and mobile patrols
  • SC-cleared professionals
  • Banksman-trained operatives for sites that see HGV or wagon traffic
  • Fire-trained officers who can detect any early warning signs of ignition
  • Concierge services for more corporate elements of your site
  • Rapid response security, with a multi-layered approach
  • Fencing, lighting, and welfare cabins

Yes we can. Our officers are available at any time of day or night, and can deliver comprehensive cover when it works for you. We’re also quick to recognise that during the night is when projects of this nature are most at risk, and can provide more thorough protection or specialist solutions where needed.
