How we do commercial bakery electricity supply upgrades right

Upgrading the electricity network at an ageing commercial bakery is essential, difficult – and potentially profitable.

Commercial bakery electrical upgrades are a complex undertaking because they work 24/7 and can’t be shut down to accommodate works. They’re also often located in busy industrial areas which make it even harder to organise works without being disruptive.

Additionally, many such facilities are ageing and suffer from intermittent power failures, faulty connections and other issues which can disturb the operations of the bakery.

We take a number of measures to make a commercial bakery electrical upgrade simple.

‍How to upgrade a commercial bakery electrical supply?

The first step is guaranteeing the ongoing 24-hour operation of the bakery by:

• Securing generators to deliver constant power supply
• Using our contacts to limit the lead time on those generators as far as possible, potentially cutting out weeks of waiting
• Installing a temporary supply to ensure seamless operation of your bakery

We have achieved this at one of the largest commercial bakeries in the UK and can deliver the same at your facility.

At the same time, we work to secure a better, more reliable Point of Connection (PoC) and permanent power supply based on your total electric load.

Many modern commercial bakeries use far more electricity now than when they were initially built. Operations have expanded and equipment has become more technical and power-hungry – requiring an increased electricity supply for your bakery.

Retrofitting commercial bakery electric upgrades without halting operations

The other side of ensuring the continuous operation of your commercial bakery is undertaking electrical upgrades without disturbance. That means designing a scheme which retrofits what you already have rather than shutting the factory down and starting again. For example:

• New cabling
• Renewable energy and the required infrastructure
• Upgraded metering

...and all the work required to make that happen including legal, civils, jointing and more.

That can be done in phases, working around your operations to upgrade everything that needs it, then connecting them to the permanent system on completion of works.

Once everything has been retrofitted, we will work together on a switchover timetable to connect your commercial bakery onto its new electrical supply – putting it back on the grid and ensuring your have a power supply which is:

• Constant
• Reliable
• Resilient
• Adapatable for future expansions if needed

This can also be done if you are expanding operations at your commercial bakery. We are able to link the existing facility together with the new areas and form them into one system which is efficient and reliable.
