Energy Strategies London Plan
At Melin Energy Consultants Ltd, we specialise in providing tailored energy strategies that align with the London Plan’s sustainability objectives. Our expertise supports architects, developers, and planners in meeting local planning requirements while delivering efficient, future-proofed buildings. With the capital’s ambitious carbon reduction targets, a robust and compliant energy strategy is no longer just an option—it’s an essential part of the development process.
What It Is
An energy strategy is a detailed report outlining how a proposed development will meet energy and carbon reduction targets set out in the London Plan. It demonstrates a clear, evidence-based pathway towards minimising energy use, integrating renewable technologies, and achieving operational efficiency.
The Requirements
Each proposal must demonstrate compliance with specific carbon reduction targets and show how on-site renewable or low-carbon technologies have been maximised. Developers must also consider the potential for connection to district heating networks, the use of efficient building fabric, and the inclusion of passive design measures.
Our Approach
We engage from the concept stage to influence key design decisions—optimising building form, orientation, and envelope performance before they become fixed.
Using advanced simulation tools, we produce accurate, transparent calculations that align with GLA and local authority requirements, ensuring smooth progression through planning.
We work closely with architects, engineers, and planners to embed energy efficiency and low-carbon measures seamlessly within the overall design.
Our recommendations are technically sound, commercially viable, and tailored to each project—delivering sustainability outcomes without compromising quality or feasibility.

Creating A Greener City
London’s transition towards a low-carbon future depends on the collective efforts of its built environment professionals. Every compliant development brings the city closer to its net-zero goals—improving air quality, reducing fuel poverty, and creating healthier spaces for all. By supporting developers and design teams in navigating complex requirements, we help ensure that every project contributes positively to the city’s environmental ambitions.
Expertise Across All Sectors
Our experience spans residential towers, commercial offices, mixed-use developments, and public sector projects. We understand that each scheme presents unique challenges, whether it’s balancing architectural vision with efficiency targets or integrating innovative renewable systems into constrained urban sites. Our expertise ensures every energy strategy we produce is robust, compliant, and tailored to context.
