Reduce security costs by up to
0%
Energy infrastructure sites, including power plants and substations, are at risk of growing security threats including metal theft, vandalism and sabotage.
Metal theft, in particular, has surged in recent years, costing the UK economy over £4.3 billion in the past decade, increasing the potential for service disruptions, operational downtime and substantial financial losses.
WCCTV's rapid deployment CCTV Towers, live monitoring services and proactive security approach prevents unauthorised access and protects these critical assets, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply across the UK.
Protecting the UK’s Energy Infrastructure
Ensuring the ongoing security of the UK's energy network requires a proactive and tailored approach.
Power stations, substations and energy distribution sites are prime targets for trespassers, thieves and organised criminals. Theft of essential materials, vandalism and sabotage can lead to power outages, service disruptions and major financial losses.
Whether you're securing an operational site or a new-build energy project, WCCTV provides rapid deployment security solutions designed for the sector’s unique challenges. Our CCTV Towers deliver immediate protection, ensuring continuous security where it’s needed most.
We offer flexible rental and purchase options, making it easy to scale security as risks evolve.
Let us handle security so you can focus on keeping the lights on.

Instant Protection for High-Risk Energy Sites
Securing energy infrastructure requires a proactive, adaptable approach. Power plants, substations and distribution sites are frequent targets for theft, trespass and vandalism, and many are located in remote areas with no existing security infrastructure.
WCCTV’s rapid deployment CCTV towers form an immediate security presence, deterring intruders and providing real-time surveillance for operational energy sites and new-build projects.
Standing 7m tall with infrared night vision, audio challenge speakers and full 360° camera coverage, our towers ensure comprehensive site protection. Their built-in wireless connectivity enables remote access, even in off-grid locations.
With solar, hybrid and fuel cell power options, our systems deliver autonomous security without reliance on mains electricity, making them ideal for securing substations, power stations and energy storage sites.
Whether you need temporary security for a construction phase or long-term protection for an operational site, WCCTV provides specialist security tailored to the energy sector’s unique challenges.

No Upfront Costs – Just Convenient Security
Not every energy site security application will require a permanent CCTV installation or fixed camera network.
Substations, power plants and grid infrastructure under construction or undergoing maintenance and upgrades will benefit more from a temporary, comprehensive security solution that can adapt as projects develop.
Purchasing security equipment comes with upfront costs, but there then are also the hidden costs associated with storage, maintenance and upgrades. Renting CCTV Towers from WCCTV removes those cost burdens, giving you immediate access to reliable protection without long-term commitments.
Rental options also allow you to scale your security as needed - deploy CCTV Towers where and when they’re required, and expand coverage to match project phases or emerging risks.
Prevent theft, deter intruders and protect the UK’s energy supply with WCCTV’s rapid deployment CCTV rental solutions.
Temporary Cameras, Comprehensive Security
To best secure energy sites in development or transition, you need a security that adapts to changing risks. Renting CCTV provides a cost-effective solution for securing new-build power plants, grid expansion projects and temporary infrastructure upgrades without high costs.
WCCTV delivers specialist security without the complexities of ownership. No need to manage storage, transport or maintenance - we handle everything, ensuring seamless protection for your site.
Key Benefits of CCTV Rental

When intruders approach, built-in audio and visual warnings issue an immediate challenge, forcing most to leave before damage occurs. If they persist, we coordinate directly with police and keyholders to ensure a rapid response.

Deploying a CCTV Tower strengthens your security, but why just record crime when you can prevent it in real time?
With WCCTV’s live video monitoring, NSI Gold Accredited security professionals oversee energy sites, detecting threats and responding before incidents escalate.
Our CCTV towers use infrared detection to create a virtual perimeter around power plants, substations and distribution sites. If an intruder attempts to gain access, our monitoring team is alerted instantly, triggering deterrents and escalating the response if needed.
How We Prevent Crime in Real Time
Don’t rely on cameras that just record - take control with live monitoring and stop threats before they disrupt operations.
Setting the Standard in Security
We Respond, So You Don’t Have To
Any potential security incidents affecting power plants, substations and energy distribution sites demand immediate action.
Our Mobile Key Holding Response services ensure that a trained security team is dispatched when a threat is detected, so you or your team doesn’t have to handle incidents themselves.
If an alarm is triggered, our experienced monitoring personnel assess the situation, manage escalation if required and secure the site, preventing further disruption. You’ll receive a full incident report, giving you complete visibility without needing on-site intervention.
With CCTV surveillance, live monitoring and mobile response, WCCTV provides a proactive security solution for energy sites, ensuring that critical infrastructure is always protected.
Energy Infrastructure Security Case Study
BAM Nuttall, a leading infrastructure contractor, was appointed to upgrade Pluckley Substation as part of a high-voltage switchgear renewal scheme.
Throughout the project, security was a primary concern due to the presence of high-value materials, including protective cabling, electrical equipment and power tools. Adding to the complexities, planned rail strikes would cause the site to be unoccupied for extended periods.
WCCTV deployed two Solar Fuel Cell CCTV Towers to ensure continuous protection. These solutions provide fully autonomous security without the need for mains power. One Tower was deployed to the site entrance, with the second positioned to monitor the compound, protecting key assets.
The Towers were coupled with live monitoring, built-in audio deterrents and remote alarm response to prevent intrusions. The result? No reported security incidents, with BAM’s assets fully secured, keeping the project on schedule.
Kim Brown, Site Manager for BAM Nuttall, said: "It’s just secure all the time; we don't get false alarms, nothing like that. I'm just pleased with the installs; they have been good. They take it away when we ask them to, and the towers do what they're made to do!"
