Energy leadership

We have three areas of focus to drive innovation and different thinking within the distributed energy market.

New thinking

The energy landscape is changing, and more customers, employees and investors are demanding that companies take responsibility for their carbon emissions and work towards a low carbon future. Successful organisations are looking at how they can balance their financial and environmental requirements to become a sustainable business. We help our customers understand their energy opportunity, so power is no longer just a cost, but a strategic asset.

New technology

We provide end-to-end distributed energy solutions to power performance, resilience and long-term value for our customers. Changing views around cost and carbon footprint are leading to greater adoption of energy efficiency solutions such as LED lighting, insulation, heating and ventilation. These energy efficiency measures are providing a springboard for businesses to invest in smart energy technologies such as demand response, battery, energy management platforms and electric vehicles that enable energy optimisation and resilience.
