All eEnergy's services come with intelligent circuit-level energy analytics and are funded through NatWest or Siemens to provide an off-balance sheet-compliant energy-as-a-service solution.
eEnergy has completed over 1,100 decarbonisation projects within the B2B and public sector. We are #1 in the education sector, having worked with over 840 schools, installing over half a million LED lights, and improving the learning environment for over 443,000 students-enough to fill Wembley Stadium almost five times over.

With over 70% of schools yet to transition to LED lighting and over 90% yet to deploy solar, eEnergy estimates that at least £5.4 billion would need to be invested to install adequate rooftop solar, LED lighting, and EV charging infrastructure in UK schools.
eEnergy is a market leader within the education sector and has been awarded the Green Economy Mark by the London Stock Exchange.
