The programme will combine specialist renewable energy expertise with a scalable, end-to-end delivery model designed specifically for occupied homes. UPOWA will manage every stage of the process, from surveys, feasibility assessments and system design through to installation, commissioning, certification, resident support and ongoing asset maintenance. By combining solar PV and battery storage, the programme aims to improve housing energy performance, maximise the use of on-site renewable energy generation and help residents manage their energy costs, while supporting the Council’s wider housing decarbonisation ambitions. The programme reflects UPOWA’s commitment to supporting social housing providers with practical, scalable renewable energy solutions that deliver long-term value for housing providers and residents alike. As part of BRCK Group, UPOWA continues to strengthen the Group’s offering across the built environment, supporting the transition towards more energy-efficient homes through specialist renewable energy expertise.
