KEELE, UK. January 21st, 2025 - In response to the UK Government’s ambitious goal to position Britain as a global clean energy superpower, Tomato Energy has launched a new community-driven energy solution to empower local authorities and social housing providers to lead the way in local clean energy.
The Smart Energy Communities initiative aims to support the UK’s mission to reduce energy bills, create green jobs, and advance climate action.
Tomato Energy, through its Smart Energy Communities initiative, is well-positioned to support the vision outlined in the government’s Great British Energy Local Power Plan. This plan aims to develop 1,000 local energy projects that utilise renewable resources such as solar and wind energy, including 100 carport projects. These initiatives will provide affordable and clean power to communities while ensuring that the benefits remain within the local area.
Tomato Energy’s scalable Energy as a Service solution, powered by Senapt, enables social housing providers to act immediately, setting up smart energy communities that deliver real, measurable results.
“By working within existing frameworks, Tomato Energy allows communities to start generating clean energy now without waiting for new regulations,” said Kenny Virdee of Tomato Energy.
“Our use of Senapt’s Energy as a Service software ensures that energy production and distribution is optimised, providing maximum value to residents.”
