As part of a major UK energy infrastructure programme, a new gas power plant required a perimeter security solution that offered both high-level protection and tailored flexibility across different areas of the site. Critical zones demanded fencing with maximum resistance to attack, while other areas required lower-security but strong visual deterrents.The specification required:Two LPCB-rated fencing systems: SR2/B3 and SR1/A1Full compliance with British StandardsGuaranteed product quality and long-term performanceRapid procurement and manufacturing, with tight lead times for SR2 fencingA supplier capable of phased delivery and close coordination with the contractor to avoid programme disruptionGiven the scale and sensitivity of the project, timely and defect-free delivery was essential.The SolutionAlexandra Security was selected to supply and support the installation of the full perimeter package, which included:Over 2,500 metres of fencing, comprising a mix of high-security mesh systems and steel palisade fencing tailored to specific zonesSecurity Mesh and Steel Palisade Gates in multiple configurations, manufactured in-house at our UK facilitiesAll products underwent detailed quality inspections to ensure full compliance and defect-free performance prior to dispatch.To meet the programme’s requirements, we implemented just-in-time staggered deliveries direct to site, supported with offloading. Our logistics team worked in alignment with the contractor’s installation schedule, ensuring rapid site progress without unnecessary storage or delay. Throughout, we maintained close communication with the client, adapting delivery schedules where required to ensure every milestone was achieved.The BenefitsBy appointing Alexandra Security, the contractor was able to:Achieve verified compliance with LPCB SR2/B3, SR1/A1, and British StandardsBenefit from a 15-year product guarantee for long-term assuranceMeet tight lead times without programme disruptionUtilise a combination of mesh and palisade systems, tailored to specific site security requirementsProtect their reputation by working with a supplier who delivered reliably, on time, and without compromiseWhile project sensitivity prevents the release of detailed information, this case study demonstrates Alexandra Security’s proven ability to deliver large-scale, multi-specification perimeter security solutions for nationally significant energy infrastructure. With advanced manufacturing capability, rigorous quality standards, and responsive project management, we are trusted to secure some of the UK’s most critical assets.For more information or to discuss your upcoming project, contact our team today and see how we can deliver the right solution for your site.

Potash Farm, located west of Milton Keynes, is a 5MW solar energy site developed by RO Energy as part of their expanding portfolio of renewable infrastructure projects across the UK. Spanning 20 acres and generating enough clean electricity to power approximately 1,800 homes each year, the site contributes to an annual reduction of around 2,300 tonnes of carbon emissions. Designed with dual-purpose land use in mind, the farm not only delivers sustainable energy but also provides a safe, biodiverse environment for wildlife, with the space beneath the panels suitable for wildflower growth or light grazing.Alexandra Security was selected to supply perimeter fencing for the project, working in partnership with fencing contractor Naio Environmental. With incidents of solar farm crime increasing, and Potash Farm’s rural location making it a potential target for opportunistic and organised theft, a robust and long-term perimeter security solution was essential. High-value infrastructure—including PV panels, copper cabling and inverters—required protection, while environmental and planning sensitivities meant the fencing also needed to be sympathetic to the landscape.To meet these needs, a combination of 1,200 metres of 2.4-metre-high SolarGard Orbit and 200 metres of 2.4-metre-high SolarGard Aurora was supplied. SolarGard Orbit was installed along the majority of the perimeter, offering a balance of strong security features and low visual impact. It was supplied in RAL 6005 Moss Green to blend with the surrounding vegetation. In higher-risk areas where enhanced protection was required, SolarGard Aurora was used. Two twin-wire double-leaf security gates—measuring 6 metres and 3 metres wide—were installed at key access points. These matched the Aurora system to ensure a consistent, secure finish throughout the site.While the site is not in a known high-crime area, its rural setting and valuable assets meant traditional stock or deer fencing would not offer sufficient deterrence. In light of the rise in solar farm-related crime, RO Energy made the decision to invest in purpose-designed security fencing to help ensure the long-term safety and reliability of the installation. With a projected lifespan of 40 years, the SolarGard fencing system provides durable, low-maintenance protection that will serve the site throughout its operational life. The result is a solar farm that not only delivers clean energy to UK homes but does so within a secure and future-ready perimeter.At Alexandra, we support solar farm developers and operators in specifying the right perimeter fencing for their sites. Our team has extensive experience in the renewables sector, is well-versed in current security guidelines, and works closely with a trusted network of installers.

Instavolt’s new Superhub rapid EV charging station in Winchester, Hampshire, was designed to provide a modern, convenient destination for electric vehicle drivers. The site features ultra-fast EV charging points, an on-site Starbucks coffee shop, and an integrated solar farm – helping drivers recharge both their vehicles and themselves.To support the hub’s renewable energy infrastructure, a dedicated solar energy installation and battery storage compound were constructed. These high-value energy assets required reliable, robust protection to prevent unauthorised access and ensure site safety – while also respecting the visual aesthetics of the surrounding commercial development.Our customer, who was contracted to deliver the fencing for this new-build site, required a solution that met the necessary security requirements of solar farms and battery storage sites, while also delivering a clean, visually appealing finish appropriate for a publicly accessible location.The Solution: Fencing for Solar and Battery Storage SecurityWe supplied two fencing systems designed specifically for the differing needs of the solar array and the battery storage area:Solar Farm Security FencingTo secure the perimeter of the solar farm, we supplied 325 metres of 1.8m high Protek 656 Clip twin-wire mesh fencing in RAL 9005 (black). This fencing system is a proven choice for solar farm perimeter security, offering durability, anti-climb protection, and a neat, low-profile appearance. The installation also included two 3m wide double-leaf vehicle access gates, allowing for easy site maintenance access.Battery Storage Compound FencingFor the battery storage fencing behind the Starbucks building, we provided 130 metres of 2.4m high SolarGard Pulsar Plus mesh and timber fencing. This dual-purpose system offered high security and effective visual screening – helping the compound blend into the landscape while protecting critical infrastructure. The fencing included double-leaf access gates for vehicles and pedestrian single-leaf gates fitted with digital locks and protective shrouds for enhanced access control.The Result: Secure, Aesthetic Fencing for Renewable Energy InfrastructureThe fencing systems delivered a successful balance of form and function:Robust perimeter security for sensitive renewable energy assetsAesthetic integration with the site’s high-traffic, public-facing environmentLow-maintenance, long-term performance tailored to the specific site requirementsBy combining the Protek 656 Clip mesh fencing with the SolarGard Pulsar Plus system, the project team achieved full perimeter protection across both the solar farm and battery storage facility, supporting the safe and reliable operation of this key renewable energy site.Partnering on Renewable Energy SecurityThis project highlights how tailored fencing solutions can play a vital role in supporting the expansion of EV charging infrastructure and renewable energy sites across the UK.At Alexandra, we work closely with renewable energy developers, contractors, and EPCs to specify and supply secure, compliant, and cost-effective perimeter fencing for solar farms, battery storage systems, and other clean energy installations. With deep knowledge of current security standards and access to a trusted national installer network, we’re ready to support your next project.Planning a solar farm or battery energy storage site?
