Renewable Energy Expo 2026 - EMR are exhibiting

EMR heads to Dublin for Renewable Energy Expo Ireland

/in ,

We’re packing up the stand and heading to the RDS. EMR will be at Renewable Energy Expo Ireland on 21 and 22 October, and you’ll find us on stand 50.

The Renewable Energy Expo is Ireland’s first big get-together for the wind, solar and energy storage sectors, all under one roof. For us, that means one thing: a lot of good conversations with the people actually building and managing these sites.

We’ve spent 45 years keeping critical infrastructure connected and secure, and these days that includes solar farms and wind sites across Ireland, UK and Europe. The tool doing the heavy lifting is UniCAS, our secure communications solution, built specifically for renewable energy asset managers and O&M operators.

UniCAS puts site access under one roof too, literally, giving operators centralised control over O&M contractors, telecoms providers and everyone else who needs in. It also takes a lot of the pain out of getting ready for NIS2.

Stern Energy, a solar operations and maintenance specialist working across the UK, Italy and the Netherlands, is already using UniCAS to tighten up security across its sites.  Greencoat is too.

And there’s more good news: we’ve been shortlisted for an Innovation award at the Renewable Energy Awards this year.

Join us at the Renewable Energy Expo and pay a visit to stand 50. Bring your toughest questions about securing a renewable site and we’ll do our best to answer them on the spot.

UniCAS earns EMR a place on the Renewable Energy Awards 2026 shortlist

/in

EMR Integrated Solutions has been shortlisted for the Renewable Energy Innovation Award at the Renewable Energy Awards 2026, with the nomination centred on UniCAS, the company’s purpose-built OT cybersecurity and secure communications platform for wind and solar farm assets.

The shortlisting follows an independent evaluation by a panel of expert judges and places UniCAS among the leading innovations in Ireland’s renewable energy sector.

Developed by EMR’s engineering team to address a gap that generic IT security tools have consistently failed to fill, UniCAS secures the operational technology networks that underpin renewable energy generation at field level, governing third-party access through Zero Trust principles, providing real-time monitoring through EMR’s Network Operations Centre, and supporting asset managers on their journey towards NIS2 compliance.

The platform is deployed across wind and solar assets in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Italy, and the Netherlands, and is in active managed service across sites spanning multiple asset managers and O&M providers.

It was built specifically for the OT environment, where field assets from multiple manufacturers sit alongside CCTV systems, telecoms hardware, and third-party access points, and where the consequences of a security failure extend beyond data loss to operational downtime and potential grid impact.

The awards, now in their second year, celebrate the people, projects, and organisations transforming Ireland’s energy future. The Renewable Energy Innovation Award specifically recognises breakthrough technologies that improve how renewable energy is generated, integrated, managed, or optimised.

Mark O’Connor, Chief Commercial Officer, EMR Integrated Solutions, said:

“Being shortlisted is a genuine validation of the work our engineering team has put into UniCAS. This is a product that was built because the sector needed it, and it is now live and deployed at real scale across wind and solar assets in four countries. To have that recognised by an independent panel of expert judges means a great deal to the whole team.”

The Renewable Energy Awards 2026 are hosted by Ivan Yates and are a joint initiative of Wind Energy Ireland and Solar Ireland. The ceremony takes place on 26 November at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre.

We’re off to the Water, Wastewater and Environmental Management Expo

EMR Integrated Solutions will be exhibiting at the Water, Wastewater and Environmental Management Expo (WWEM Expo, 2026), part of this year’s Environmental Services and Solutions Expo at the NEC Birmingham on 16 and 17 September 2026. EMR will be showcasing AquaVision Intelligence, its continuous water quality monitoring solution developed specifically to help UK sewerage undertakers meet the obligations of Section 82 of the Environment Act 2021.

WWEM Expo 2026 sits within ESS Expo, the UK’s leading environmental industry event, which draws more than 16,000 professionals across seven co-located shows over two days. The water and wastewater sector is at the heart of the 2026 agenda, with Section 82 compliance, environmental monitoring standards and the Defra CWQM programme among the most pressing topics facing attendees.

With 45 years of experience delivering operational technology, SCADA, telemetry and cybersecurity solutions across water utilities, power networks, renewable energy, transport and maritime sectors, EMR has built AquaVision Intelligence to address the growing demand for end-to-end CWQM services across the English water sector. The platform is cloud-hosted, delivers near real-time data upstream and downstream of storm overflows and sewage treatment works, and is fully aligned with the Defra Interim Technical Standard published in August 2024.

At the show, the team will be available to discuss the full range of deployment options, from complete end-to-end CWQM programmes covering site survey, ecology, installation and 24/7 managed services, through to standalone data platform deployments for utilities that already have monitoring hardware in the ground. For water companies with existing field equipment but no platform to aggregate, validate and report on that data, AquaVision Intelligence can be deployed as a data-only service, providing the public visualisation portal, Defra three-step validation workflow and Hydroweb integration for EA regulatory submission without requiring a full programme commitment.

WWEM is one of the most relevant events in the UK water monitoring calendar, and the timing is significant. With Defra setting an expectation that 25% of storm overflows will have continuous monitoring in place before 2030, water utilities are under real pressure to make decisions. EMR’s presence at the show reflects a straightforward ambition: to be accessible, in person, to the people who need to make those decisions.

Come and find us in Hall 20 at Stand WW-Q94 in the WWEM hall on 16 and 17 September. To arrange a meeting in advance, contact us at info@emrsolutions.com.

Ram Mill, CHadderton is the location of the new home of EMR UK

Same Team, New Mill: EMR’s UK Team Gets a New Home

/in

EMR has grown strongly in recent months, and a huge part of that is down to our customers who have kept the projects coming. That loyalty and support has meant our UK team has grown, our workload has grown, and frankly, Ivy Mill was starting to feel a little snug.

So when the opportunity came to find a bigger, better home for the team, we grabbed it, along with several trolleys and a stack of flat-pack boxes.

We’re pleased to announce that EMR has officially relocated from Ivy Mill Business Centre to Ram Mill Chadderton, marking an exciting new chapter for our team.

But this wasn’t just any office move.

Rather than hiring a full removal crew, our office staff rolled up their sleeves, grabbed a trolley (or three), and took on the challenge themselves. With determination, teamwork, and several strategically placed boxes, the move was well and truly underway.  And of course, no major project is complete without fuel; courtesy of Domino’s Pizza, who kept morale high and energy levels even higher.

🏢 A New Home at Ram Mill

Ram Mill is a beautifully refurbished 1907 heritage cotton mill, offering excellent facilities including a manned reception, modern meeting rooms, breakout areas, an on-site café and gym, secure parking, and great transport links via the M60 and M62. It turns out we have good taste in mills.

This move gives our team a more inspiring and collaborative working environment and supports EMR’s continued growth, all achieved with plenty of laughs, teamwork, and cardboard boxes.

A Huge Thank You

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this move happen. From lifting desks to directing traffic (and ordering pizza), the team showed real commitment and great spirit.

We’re now fully settled in, feeling motivated, and ready for the next chapter, hopefully without needing to move again anytime soon.

📍 New location: Ram Mill, Chadderton, Oldham, OL9 9RH | Tel: +44 (0)118-9952283 (same phone number)
