Energy Security Services
- Static officers and gatehouse control
- Cable, copper and plant theft deterrence
- Perimeter and compound patrols
- Construction and commissioning cover
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 — providing manned guarding, gatehouse and contractor access control, mobile patrols across large perimeters, and full cover through construction and commissioning phases.
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 the project is in construction, commissioning or operation.
The schemes and bodies AGS Security is accredited by, registered with or a member of. If your procurement process needs certificates or scheme numbers, ask and we will provide the relevant documents.
Security cover can be structured around the site's footprint, operating stage, contractor traffic, access arrangements, asset value and exposure to theft or unauthorised access.

Explore Manned GuardingControlled site access during construction and outage works — contractor sign-in, vehicle checks, plant deliveries and permit verification against your procedures.
Explore Gatehouse SecurityScheduled and random patrols across long perimeters, access tracks and remote compounds — practical cover for sites where a single static post cannot see the boundary.
Explore Mobile PatrolsWe hold keys and attend alarm activations out of hours, so your operations team is not driving to a remote site in the middle of the night for an activation that may prove to be nothing.

Explore North WestEnergy 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.
We discuss the site, its stage — construction, commissioning or operational — access arrangements, and any client or insurer requirements shaping the cover.
We walk the perimeter, identify vulnerable boundaries and access tracks, and locate where cable, copper, panels and plant are most exposed.
Officers complete your site induction and are briefed on electrical safety boundaries, exclusion zones, permit rules and exactly who to call and when.
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.
