Who we serve
Councils, ALMOs
Councils, ALMOs
& housing associations.
Most UK local authorities have a Net Zero commitment, along with a housing stock, civic estate, leisure portfolio and street-lighting inventory that all have to move towards it. The delivery routes are tightly defined: PAS 2035 for retrofit, SHDF for social housing, ECO4 for private tenants and framework procurement for anything above threshold.
Synergy Power works across these routes: estate-wide solar PV, heat pump retrofits under BUS or ECO4 Flex, PPM contracts for existing arrays and portfolio dashboards that feed straight into cabinet reporting and SECR filings.
We write procurement responses in the format buyers expect: PQQ, ITT, benchmark rates, whole-life cost and social value. Our MCS, NICEIC, RECC, Constructionline (Silver) and CHAS accreditations can all be checked before award.

questions answered.
Clear answers to the questions councils ask us before award.
Still have a question?0330 043 1047Which frameworks can you work through?
We can deliver through Fusion21, LHC and SBS framework routes, by direct award or mini-competition, and we confirm current framework and lot coverage for your project. A compliant call-off does not usually need its own FTS notice.
Are you PAS 2035 aligned?
Yes. Our design and delivery approach aligns with the PAS 2035 whole-house retrofit standard, including the retrofit coordinator role, whole-house risk assessment and post-completion monitoring.
Can you support SHDF Wave 3?
Yes. Our retrofit programme delivery aligns with SHDF Wave 3 grant requirements, covering MCS ASHP installation, fabric-first prerequisites and evidence documentation formatted for DESNZ reporting.
What social value do you deliver?
Social value scored against TOMs, such as local apprenticeships, a preference for UK supply chains, community engagement events and skills-transfer training with council staff. The commitments are agreed for each contract and depend on scope.
What reporting will we get for cabinet?
Quarterly performance reports covering generation, availability, faults, remedial actions, CO₂e avoided and social value delivered, formatted to drop straight into cabinet reports and SECR filings.
Can you help with funding applications?
Yes. Our feasibility study provides the system size, savings, carbon and cost figures an application needs. Programmes and criteria change, so we confirm which routes are open to your authority rather than promise funding.
How do you keep disruption to council services to a minimum?
Installations are RAMS-led and programmed around opening hours, term dates and public access. We agree working areas, access routes and any out-of-hours work with your site teams before we start.
Can you maintain solar already on council buildings?
Yes. Our operations and maintenance team monitors, maintains and repairs systems we did not install, including fault response, inverter replacement and panel cleaning.
