    Energy Storage Fencing

    Selecting the Ideal Fencing System for Battery Storage Compounds

    Secure, compliant, and built to last fencing solutions designed specifically for Battery Energy Storage Sites (BESS).

    As demand for renewable energy increases, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are rapidly being deployed across the UK to stabilise the grid and store excess energy. These sites often contain high-value assets and sensitive technology, making robust perimeter security a critical part of safe operation and regulatory compliance.

    Perimeter Fencing for BESS Sites

    At Alexandra, we can advise and supply the right fencing system that provides robust physical protection, compliance with utility-scale battery storage security requirements, and insurance-approved specifications for your BESS site.

    Key features of our range:

    Why Battery Storage Security Matters

    Battery storage sites are increasingly targeted for:

    • Copper theft and equipment stripping, driven by the high value of components.
    • Vandalism and arson, especially in rural or unmanned locations.
    • Environmental safety risks, including potential fire hazards.
    • Unauthorised public access, which may lead to injury and legal liability.

    As the UK transitions to net zero, the number of grid-connected battery installations is growing, but so too are the threats. The right perimeter fencing and security infrastructure is essential to reduce risk, deter intrusion, and protect your investment. With the rapid growth of battery storage installations across the UK, the need to properly protect these high-value sites is increasing just as quickly.

    From theft and vandalism to fire risk and unauthorised access, effectively securing battery storage sites is a key challenge going forward. Read our short guide on the unique risks facing battery storage sites and how to address them with site-appropriate perimeter security solutions.

      Battery Storage Fencing - Frequently Asked Questions

    • How high should battery storage security fencing be?

      For effective perimeter protection, we recommend an anti-climb fence with a minimum height of 2.4 metres, using either welded mesh or palisade fencing. In higher-risk areas or locations with increased criminal activity, additional security toppings such as cranked extensions, barbed wire, or anti-climb rollers can provide enhanced deterrence. Our team at Alexandra Security can assess your site and recommend the most suitable fencing configuration for maximum security.

    • Do battery storage sites require fire-rated or non-conductive fencing?

      Fire-rated fencing isn’t always mandatory for battery storage sites, but using non-conductive and low-flammability materials is strongly advised to minimise fire and electrical hazards. Our fencing systems are designed with electrical safety, grounding requirements, and fire separation in mind, helping you meet both safety standards and insurer expectations.
