Powering Manchester: The State of Commercial Electrical Installations in 2025

Manchester’s skyline continues to evolve — and so do the electrical systems that power the city’s commercial heartbeat. As new developments rise and older properties adapt to meet stricter efficiency and safety regulations, the demand for high-quality, future-ready electrical installations has never been higher.

At VoltEdge Systems, we’ve been working closely with property managers, developers, and industrial clients across Greater Manchester to help them meet these challenges head-on.


A City Under Development


With one of the fastest-growing economies outside of London, Manchester is experiencing a boom in office fit-outs, commercial refurbishments, and new-build developments. From the Oxford Road Corridor to MediaCityUK, these projects are driving strong demand for:


  • Modern power distribution and lighting

  • Data and communications cabling

  • Smart energy systems and infrastructure upgrades


This rapid pace of development places extra emphasis on electrical contractors who can deliver with precision, speed, and compliance.


Compliance Is No Longer Optional


The pressure is on for landlords and commercial property owners to raise their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings. By 2030, most leased commercial spaces in England must achieve a minimum EPC rating of B — or risk becoming unlettable.


This shift is fueling demand for:


  • LED lighting upgrades

  • Power-efficient control systems

  • Updated consumer units and circuit protection

  • Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)


At VoltEdge Systems, we ensure every installation meets or exceeds BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and Part L (energy efficiency) compliance — helping clients stay ahead of the curve.


The Rise of EV Charging in Commercial Spaces


Another major development is the growing adoption of EV charging infrastructure. Businesses in Manchester are increasingly installing EV charge points to meet sustainability goals, attract eco-conscious tenants, and prepare for a low-emission future.


Our team handles everything from single charger installations to multi-bay workplace charging systems — designed to scale with your business.


Proactive Maintenance: A Must in a 24/7 City


Beyond installation, Manchester’s commercial spaces need responsive, professional electrical maintenance. Whether it’s an unexpected outage, compliance testing, or routine servicing, our Planned & Reactive Maintenance services provide peace of mind with:

  • 24/7 call-out support

  • Periodic EICR testing

  • Emergency fault finding & repairs

  • Ongoing system optimisation


How VoltEdge Systems Supports Manchester’s Growth

  • Fully certified installations (NICEIC/NAPIT)
