The Energy Innovation Agency (the Agency) has announced a strategic partnership with Sureserve, strengthening its ability to help innovative solutions reach the organisations and communities that stand to benefit most from them.
As pressure grows on housing providers, local authorities and public sector organisations to improve energy performance, reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty, the need for practical, scalable solutions has never been greater. This new partnership aims to bridge the gap between innovation and implementation, ensuring proven technologies and approaches move beyond pilot projects into wider deployment.
By combining the Agency's expertise in identifying, validating and supporting innovative low-carbon solutions with Sureserve's delivery capability and national reach, the partnership will create new opportunities to accelerate the adoption of technologies that improve building performance and occupant comfort, reduce energy costs and support decarbonisation.
The collaboration will provide innovators with access to real-world deployment opportunities while supporting organisations to discover solutions that have already demonstrated their potential. Through the Agency's growing network of innovators and industry partners, the partnership will also support the development and scale-up of technologies capable of delivering measurable environmental, technical, social and economic benefits.
The Agency is thrilled to announce its partnership with Sureserve, bringing together innovation and delivery by combining our expertise in identifying, validating and accelerating low-carbon solutions with Sureserve's proven capability to implement sustainable improvements at scale. Together, we can help organisations and communities reduce fuel poverty, lower costs, improve efficiency and accelerate decarbonisation.
We're delighted to be partnering with the Energy Innovation Agency to help accelerate the adoption of innovation across the housing and public sectors. This is far more than a traditional partnership; it's a collaboration that allows both organisations to bring new ideas, technologies and opportunities to the table.
By combining the Agency's innovation network with Sureserve's delivery expertise and scale, we can test promising solutions in real-world settings, bring successful innovations to more clients and help turn ambitious ideas into meaningful outcomes for residents and communities across the UK.
Just as importantly, this partnership creates a route to scale. The Energy Innovation Agency helps us access emerging innovation and reach a wider network of organisations looking to tackle decarbonisation challenges, while Sureserve provides the delivery capability, funding expertise and operational scale needed to move successful solutions beyond pilots and into large-scale deployment. Together, we can help accelerate the adoption of technologies and programmes that make a real difference.
Among the early opportunities being explored are innovative solutions such as EndoTherm, which improves the energy efficiency of wet heating systems, alongside new approaches to funding and delivery. This includes Project TURBO, Sureserve's funding model for solar PV and renewable energy projects, which helps organisations unlock investment and accelerate project delivery.
It's been great working with the Sureserve team to bring this partnership together. What stood out throughout our discussions was a shared focus on finding practical ways to help organisations make progress on decarbonisation. Through this partnership, we can connect Sureserve with innovative solutions that have real potential, while drawing on the experience and scale needed to help those solutions reach more organisations and communities.
The partnership reflects the Energy Innovation Agency's continued growth beyond its Greater Manchester focus and its commitment to supporting innovation on a national scale. By working with established delivery partners such as Sureserve, the Agency aims to create clearer routes to market for innovative solutions while helping organisations, both in Greater Manchester and across the UK, to access the expertise, technologies and support needed to achieve their decarbonisation ambitions.
