Low Carbon Energies

Specialist Fire and Security Support for Complex Renewable Energy Sites

The UK’s transition to net zero is creating rapid growth in renewables and low-carbon energies. But there is ever greater complexity in how these sites are built, operated, and protected.

Chubb has extensive experience in protecting large, complex nuclear sites, and we also protect wind farms, solar arrays, and emerging technologies like green hydrogen and carbon capture, Chubb is a trusted fire and security partner to some of the sector’s most ambitious and high-risk projects.

Renewable and low-carbon energy developments demand careful coordination across contractors, disciplines, and safety systems. Chubb works closely with principal contractors, asset owners, and Health & Safety Executive (HSE) teams from planning through to handover and operation.

We have the experience and structure to deliver in these environments—supporting complex site layouts, remote or hazardous locations, and regulatory oversight. Whether it’s managing safe system installation across multiple phases or maintaining security on an unmanned site, we help keep your people, assets, and infrastructure protected.

A Partner for Coordinated, High-Performance Sites

Engineering Certainty for the UK’s £50bn Net Zero Infrastructure

As the UK’s decarbonised economy moves from vision to reality, Chubb translates massive government investment into operational safety. As a premier Fire & Security systems integrator, we provide economic design solutions on a modular scale for all high-risk verticals, ensuring critical energy assets are protected by high-end, customised safety architectures.

Green Hydrogen: We mitigate the unique risks of hydrogen embrittlement and low-ignition energy with modular safety pods and ultra-fast flame detection, designed to scale from pilot plants to regional transport networks.
Carbon Capture & Storage: For the £9.4bn industrial clusters like Acorn and Viking, we provide bespoke FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) to unify complex chemical suppression and CO2 leak detection into a single command interface.
Grid-Scale & Low-Carbon Generation: From Sizewell C to 15GW of new wind and solar, we protect geographically isolated and unmanned assets—including BESS, Tidal, and Geothermal—through high-spec 24/7 remote monitoring and automated response planning.

By bridging the gap between high-stakes engineering and regulatory compliance, Chubb provides the integrated design and lifecycle management essential for the UK’s energy transition.
