Meet the Organisation: Who We Are and What We Do
Switch2 Energy is the UK's most experienced and capable provider of end-to-end solutions for heat networks. Heat networks are a key part of the government's net zero carbon targets as they distribute heat or cooling from a central source to multiple customers.

We provide smart and sustainable heat network solutions to local authorities, housing associations, managing agents and private developers for residential developments. We work to optimise energy efficiency, manage the delivery of renewable energy, retrofit underperforming schemes to ensure future decarbonisation, all while striving to minimise costs for residents who live there.
