How we work

Energy Renewables partner, Eden provide no cost energy reduction solutions for the education sector, and work with you to disseminate the message to your school and your community.   Eden generate financial savings, environmental benefit, and student empowerment and have been shortlisted for multiple industry awards over the past few years.

The 430kW solar array in Manchester is saving the school over £20,000 per year and including inflation this is expected to be around £2m over 25 years.  Our partner Eden take care of all operations and maintenance.  It is in everyone’s interest to ensure the power plant functions as planned for the duration of our relationship.

How does it work?

With a power purchase agreement (PPA) structure, schools do not incur any upfront or ongoing costs in order to start achieving the direct and indirect benefits.  The PPA grants Eden permission to install solar power and to supply electricity to the site at greatly reduced, fixed rates.  Furthermore, key organisations such as the Solar Trade Association have emphasised the importance of this kind of arrangement to ensure schools are not penalised by planned business rate hikes.

Cutting edge technology

Solar power is often seen as the obvious choice, and is sometimes the more visible technology, but there is a smorgasbord of exciting potential options available which can be installed individually or co-located.  These range from solar, to battery storage, to sustainable energy cooling solutions.  Eden take a whole house perspective to find the right solution for you.
