eEnergy, an energy-as-a-service provider, has secured its first Energy Performance Contract (EPC) with Symphony Healthcare Services Limited, part of Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
The contract, valued at around £700,000, will fund LED lighting upgrades across 18 GP surgeries in Somerset.
The EPC, backed by Redaptive, allows eEnergy to install energy-saving systems with zero upfront cost. Customers pay for the equipment through energy savings rather than initial investment, while eEnergy retains operational responsibility for the installed equipment.
The funding model, a first of its kind in the UK, is designed to help NHS organisations navigate recent IFRS accounting rule changes and overcome barriers to adopting energy-efficient technologies. It is available to all organisations, with a focus on public sector applications including on-site generation and energy transition projects.
Harvey Sinclair, CEO of eEnergy, said: “The challenge is unlocking fast delivery without consuming scarce capital or creating unwanted balance-sheet complexity. While Great British Energy is expected to support projects across the UK healthcare and education sectors, many NHS Trusts remain constrained in accessing at pace proven technologies such as LED lighting, Solar PV, and EV charging. Our EPC solution is designed to address this gap and remove barriers faced by NHS organisations.
“At eEnergy, we are constantly exploring new and innovative ways to help organisations accelerate their net zero journey. This new solution strengthens our ability to deliver energy-saving projects without incurring upfront cost, helping more clients reduce consumption, cut costs, and achieve their sustainability goals. Combined with the Group’s multiple public sector framework awards, it positions eEnergy to help accelerate delivery of NHS decarbonisation programmes.
“Winning our first EPC-funded contract with Symphony Healthcare Services Limited is an important validation. It demonstrates clear appetite for an NHS-ready solution and provides a platform to scale LED programmes today while supporting a broader pathway to Solar PV and EV infrastructure.”
