We are proud to announce that SSE Energy Solutions has signed a partnership with Ortus Energy, accelerating the adoption of solar panels by businesses.

As part of the deal, SSE Energy Solutions will acquire 13MW of rooftop solar panels already installed at businesses across Great Britain. There is also an exclusive option to finance up to 130MW of solar projects at business premises over the next three years. SSE Energy Solutions will finance the development and installation of the solar panels upfront, enabling business customers to pay a fixed rate for the power generated through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs).

“Ortus Energy’s expertise in identifying and developing solar projects, combined with SSE Energy Solutions’ commitment to helping businesses become sustainable, creates a powerful alliance that can boost the commercial solar landscape in GB and demonstrates Ortus’ leading position in the commercial and industrial solar development space.”

ALISTAIR BOOTH – CEO OF ORTUS ENERGY

For businesses, this partnership represents a fantastic opportunity. With the upfront costs covered, businesses can invest in renewable energy solutions without straining their budgets. This not only supports them in achieving their sustainability goals, but also protects them from fluctuating energy prices and reduces their reliance on traditional energy sources.

“This partnership is another demonstration of how at SSE Energy Solutions, we are playing our part to bring the benefits of greener energy directly to the roofs of businesses across Great Britain by providing up-front project finance.

Making inroads into UK-wide decarbonisation targets requires a multi-pronged approach, and this includes equipping businesses with the services and products they need to decarbonise their buildings and operations.

We want to be the partner of choice for all types of businesses looking to tackle their energy costs and emissions, whether they are seeking external infrastructure solutions such as solar installations or internal upgrades like smart meters and smart building controls.”
