Energy & Utilities Sector Experience

Utilities and Energy Security for Remote, High-Value Sites

Energy sites share a problem: high-value copper, cable and equipment sitting on remote land with long perimeters and nobody nearby. Solar farms, substations and battery storage compounds are targeted for cable and metal theft, and an intrusion isn't just a loss — it's a live electrical risk and a potential outage..

AGS Security protects solar farms, substations, power stations, battery energy storage sites, wind farm compounds and water treatment works across England, Scotland and Wales — manned guarding, gatehouse and contractor access control, mobile patrols across large perimeters, and full cover through the construction and commissioning phases.

Security Services for Energy & Utility Sites

Energy contracts usually combine a controlled access point with patrol cover across a large perimeter. The right mix depends on site size, how remote it is and whether you're in construction, commissioning or operation.

Manned Guarding

SIA licensed officers providing static and overnight cover on solar farms, substation compounds and generation sites, protecting cable, panels and plant when nobody else is on site.

Gatehouse & Access Control

Controlled site access during construction and outage works — contractor sign-in, vehicle checks, plant deliveries and permit verification against your procedures.

Mobile Patrols

Scheduled and random patrols across long perimeters, access tracks and remote compounds — practical cover for sites where a single static post can't see the boundary.

Key Holding & Alarm Response

We hold keys and attend alarm activations out of hours, so your operations team isn't driving to a remote site in the middle of the night for an activation that may be nothing.

Our Security Process

How We Deliver Utilities and Energy Security

Energy sites are often remote, unmanned and spread across a large footprint. AGS Security follows a structured four-stage process so every assignment is properly assessed, appropriately staffed and effectively managed.

01

Consultation & Planning

We discuss the site, its stage — construction, commissioning or operational — access arrangements, and any client or insurer requirements shaping the cover.

  • Site stage and programme review
  • Access and contractor volumes
  • Insurer and client requirements
02

Site & Risk Assessment

We walk the perimeter, identify vulnerable boundaries and access tracks, and locate where cable, copper, panels and plant are most exposed.

  • Perimeter and boundary assessment
  • High-value asset and cable runs
  • Recommended patrol and cover pattern
03

Officer Briefing & Deployment

Officers complete your site induction and are briefed on electrical safety boundaries, exclusion zones, permit rules and exactly who to call and when.

  • Site induction and exclusion zones
  • Access and permit procedures
  • Incident and escalation contacts
04

Ongoing Operational Support

Our management team supervises cover throughout the programme, scales up during peak construction and outage works, and adjusts as the site moves from build to operation.

  • Ongoing operational supervision
  • Access and incident logs
  • Cover through programme changes

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about utilities and energy security from project managers, EPC contractors and asset owners. If your requirement isn't covered here, call 0333 577 1777 or request a quote and we'll answer it directly.
Do you secure solar farms and battery storage sites?
Can you cover the construction phase as well as operation?
How do you protect remote sites with no nearby support?
Remoteness changes the plan rather than preventing it. We build in longer handovers, confirm welfare arrangements, agree escalation contacts in advance and make sure officers can raise an alarm reliably from site. We'll be straight with you about what's practical for a given location before quoting.
Do you work with EPC contractors and principal contractors?
Do you provide cover during shutdowns and holiday periods?
