LED Conversion Contract in Further Education

eEnergy (AIM: EAAS), a leading digital energy services provider, has secured a £975,000 contract with Newcastle College Group to deliver a full LED lighting conversion across ten buildings in Newcastle and Carlisle. This project supports eEnergy's strategy to accelerate energy efficiency solutions through competitive tenders, reducing sales cycles and delivering results faster, while extending its reach within the education sector to include the university segment.

The LED conversion will involve upgrading 9,826 fittings across eight buildings in Newcastle and two in Carlisle. Scheduled to begin in January 2025 and complete by the end of March 2025, the project will modernise lighting infrastructure, reduce energy consumption, and support Newcastle College Group's sustainability objectives. eEnergy's swift mobilisation, technical expertise, and capacity to manage multiple sites simultaneously were key factors in winning this contract, demonstrating its ability to deliver complex, high-quality projects on time and on budget.

This approach reflects eEnergy's ambition to broaden its footprint in the education sector by leveraging its extensive experience in complex environments, such as schools and colleges, to meet the unique challenges of university campuses and larger-scale institutions.

To achieve these ambitious goals, eEnergy is partnering on this contract with Luceco, a leading provider of sustainable and high-performance LED technology. This collaboration ensures the delivery of tailored solutions that align with the specific needs of Newcastle College Group while maximising energy and cost efficiencies.

eEnergy's expanding portfolio of public and private sector projects underscores its leadership in the UK energy efficiency landscape. By executing large-scale LED conversions with precision and impact, eEnergy continues to champion innovation, sustainability, and client success, broadening its reach across diverse education sectors.

Harvey Sinclair, CEO of eEnergy, stated: "This contract is another milestone in eEnergy's mission to make Net Zero achievable and profitable for all organisations. Newcastle College Group's commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with our ethos. By leveraging tenders as a strategic pathway, we've demonstrated how rapidly we can deliver transformative projects with long-lasting impacts. Our success here also reinforces our ability to extend into the university segment, applying the same expertise that has driven significant results across schools and colleges."
