Octopus Energy hands Britain cheap power boost by funding more than 100 solar projects

The clean energy generated will help also help to slash reliance on expensive gas, as well as helping to slash emissions and help the UK to race to its 2050 net zero target. In fact, the projects are set to take the equivalent of 40,000 petrol cars off the road. 

Zoisa North-Bond, CEO of Octopus Energy Generation, said: “There’s a significant untapped opportunity in the UK to generate more cheap green power from businesses’ rooftops. This space is fast-growing and it’ll help bring more energy security and lower energy bills, all while allowing companies to reduce their carbon emissions.”

Simon Booth, COO of Zestec, said: “Having worked with the team at Octopus over the last two years, it has become clear that we have a shared ambition to scale in this exciting sector of the renewable energy market. Most importantly, there is a shared ethos, client focus and attention to quality that delivers the right outcomes for all.”

This comes after concerns were raised over the level of support the Government has been providing to businesses and schools amid the energy crisis, with many still struggling despite certain state subsidies.
