OVO launches new service to help local businesses cut energy bills

Bristol-based energy supplier OVO is launching a new solar installation service designed to help local businesses lower their electricity bills, gain long-term cost certainty and power their operations with clean energy.

Later this year, any UK business with a suitable roof or land can sign up, irrespective of their energy supplier.

Currently available to businesses covering parts of the South West, South East, East of England, and Greater London, opening to the mass market later this year.

With energy costs remaining one of the biggest pressures facing small and medium-sized businesses, generating power on-site offers a practical way to reduce overheads.

By generating their own power, businesses can cut electricity costs by 30 to 50 per cent, locking in lower energy costs for 25 years or more.

Ed Janvrin, director of franchise at OVO, said: “Energy bills remain a real concern for local businesses.

“This launch is about giving them practical control. By generating their own power, businesses can reduce costs, protect themselves from volatility and invest more back into their operations and their communities.

“We’re proud to be working with local installers to deliver systems that help power local economies as well as lower carbon emissions.”
