Creating resilient power for a net zero world

At Binnies, we recognise that the energy transition is no longer optional; it is essential. The urgency of climate change, the drive for energy security and the shift to low-carbon systems are transforming how infrastructure is designed, delivered and operated. We bring together engineers, environmental scientists, digital specialists and sustainability strategists to co-create smart, resilient and future-ready energy systems that power progress and protect the planet.

We’ve been delivering clean energy solutions for over a century, from hydropower and biogas generation to solar, hydrogen and integrated energy networks. Whether helping utilities decarbonise, enabling renewable generation on existing infrastructure or supporting Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects in energy and water, we deliver solutions that are technically robust, commercially viable and environmentally sustainable.

Waste-to-energy and bioresources power

Transforming waste into renewable energy

We convert residual waste streams, biosolids and byproducts into renewable power through advanced anaerobic digestion, gasification and combined heat and power (CHP) systems. Our engineers design efficient, circular systems that reduce emissions, recover resources and support the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Hydropower and water-based energy systems

Hydropower and water-based energy systems

Harnessing the power of water

With our century-long expertise in dams, reservoirs and hydraulic engineering, we design and modernise hydropower and low-head energy systems that deliver reliable renewable electricity. We integrate hydropower with water supply and flood management assets, enhancing performance and long-term sustainability.

Solar and floating solar systems

Solar and floating solar systems

Innovating at the water-energy interface

We deliver solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on land and water, using floating solar technology to repurpose reservoirs, treatment works and other existing infrastructure. Our integrated digital and design teams optimise yield, reduce evaporation and align renewable energy with asset performance.

Hydrogen and emerging fuels

Hydrogen and emerging fuels

Powering the next generation

We support the production, storage and use of green hydrogen and low-carbon fuels as part of integrated energy networks. Our teams provide feasibility studies, infrastructure design and system integration to help clients decarbonise transport, industry and water sector operations.

Energy from water and waste infrastructure

Energy from water and waste infrastructure

Unlocking energy from essential services

We design and deliver renewable energy recovery systems embedded within water, wastewater, and waste infrastructure, from heat recovery in sewers and process plants to biogas capture and micro-hydropower generation. Our work helps utilities turn essential operations into active contributors to net zero goals.

Integrated energy systems and storage

Integrated energy systems and storage

Smart, flexible, connected.

We design multi-source, multi-use energy systems that combine renewable generation with battery storage, smart grids and digital optimisation. Our approach ensures resilience, stability and real-time performance across complex energy and utility networks.

Decarbonisation and net zero strategy

Decarbonisation and net zero strategy

From ambition to implementation

We help clients define and deliver their energy transition pathways, from carbon footprint modelling and energy audits to transition roadmaps and investment planning. Our digital tools and data insights guide decision-making, ensuring every project supports measurable decarbonisation.

Energy optimisation and asset performance

Energy optimisation and asset performance

Improving efficiency through innovation

We optimise existing energy assets using AI, digital twins and predictive analytics. Our teams monitor, model and fine-tune systems to extend asset life, reduce energy waste and improve reliability, creating smarter, cleaner infrastructure that performs for generations.
