From apartment complexes to large housing developments, residents expect uninterrupted power for comfort, safety, and connectivity. Power failures can lead to inconvenience, reputational damage for developers, and even compliance risks. Shenton Group ensures residential sites remain operational around the clock, having delivered life-safety and backup power solutions for major London mixed-use developments including Marble Arch Place, Ilona Rose House and 145 City Road.Â
Residential developments and other buildings such as hotels must have adequate backup power – it’s not just a convenience, it’s a legal and safety requirement. In the event of a power outage:
Without these measures, compliance is compromised, and the safety of residents and guests is at risk.
Our solutions include:
Battery storage adds an extra layer of resilience, enabling residential sites to store renewable energy, reduce reliance on the grid, and maintain uptime during transitions or outages.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems generate heat and electricity simultaneously, making them ideal for large residential sites and hotels with high hot water demand. CHP can reduce carbon emissions by up to 30%, cut energy costs, and help meet sustainability targets.
At Shenton Group, we maintain and optimise CHP systems to ensure they deliver maximum efficiency and ROI – helping residential developments and similar achieve greener energy and lower bills without compromising reliability.
Without reliable power, residential developments face serious consequences:
Large residential and mixed-use schemes carry particular complexity worth naming explicitly — multiple building uses on one site, phased occupation, and life-safety obligations that apply from the moment residents move in:
