Leep Utilities to Energise Historic London Site

Following a competitive tender process, Leep Utilities secured the contract to own, operate and maintain the last-mile network delivering electricity to the much-anticipated Battersea Power Station Development in South London.

Alongside the redevelopment of the Grade II* listed landmark, the site includes a range of residential, retail, and commercial units.

The site’s main power supply is live with Leep Utilities enlisted to oversee the energisation of all remaining phases of the project.

An ambitious project, Battersea Power Station Development sees Leep Utilities managing a blended network and the implementation of substations to support further planned development across the one-mile waterfront site.

Speaking on the contract win, Leep Utilities’ Managing Director, Louise Manfredi, said: “Battersea Power Station is a truly iconic site in the nation’s capital; it is fantastic to be involved in such an exciting regeneration project.

“Working on a development of such cultural and historic significance has presented a number of complex challenges; our team, on the ground in London, have been paramount in ensuring that the complex nature of the site has not impacted the business’ ability to deliver straightforward connections within pre-agreed timeframes.”

Leep Utilities is a multi-utility network owner and operator, responsible for the adoption of electricity, gas, water and heat networks; providing the flexibility required for energising heritage sites as well as new developments across the country.

The energisation of the Battersea Power Station Development supports the expansion of Leep Utilities’ multi-utility offering across the South East, including the recent energisation of Wood Wharf, the Canary Wharf Group’s new district.

Leep Utilities is backed by Ancala Partners LLP (‘Ancala’), an independent investment management firm and The Peel Group, one of the UK’s leading private real estate investment and infrastructure companies.
