Energy solutions for the public sector
Public sector organisations are under pressure on multiple fronts - mandatory net zero commitments, ESOS compliance obligations, tightening budgets, and increasing scrutiny from the communities they serve. Energy is one of the largest controllable cost lines, and one of the most significant sources of carbon emissions.
We work with local authorities, schools, universities, leisure trusts, and other public bodies to design energy strategies that cut costs, meet compliance requirements, and demonstrate genuine progress towards net zero.
insight
The challenges we understand
- Mandatory ESOS audit obligations for qualifying organisations
- Public net zero commitments requiring evidenced progress
- Complex procurement and approval processes requiring a clear financial case
- Large, varied building estates with different ages, uses, and energy profiles
- Limited capital budgets and the need to identify grant funding and financing options
strong results
Technologies we typically recommend for the public sector
The public sector can benefit from many renewable energy technologies, including:
- Commercial Solar PV - strong returns across schools, leisure centres, and public buildings with large roof areas
- CHP Systems - well-suited to leisure centres, universities, and multi-building campuses with district heating
- Commercial Heat Pumps - supports decarbonisation of heating in public buildings moving away from gas
- Battery Storage (BESS) - reduces peak demand charges and improves energy resilience
- Biomass - suitable for larger public sector estates and district heating networks
audits and obligations
Compliance support
We support public sector organisations with ESOS audits and can help translate audit findings into a practical, prioritised energy strategy. If your organisation is subject to MEES obligations across its property portfolio, we can help you understand your current position and plan the improvements needed.

How we can help
Public sector energy decisions require transparency, rigour, and a clear audit trail. We provide the analysis, documentation, and project management to support your internal approval process from start to finish.
