EAST Sussex-based company OHM Energy has won Renewable Heat Installer of the Year at the Energy Efficiency regional awards for the second year running and has been commended for its solar work.
As well as being crowned regional winners, this means the Hailsham company are now eligible for the Energy Efficiency national awards.
The judges choose the winners by looking at a number of criteria including installations completed and over the last 12 months – it has installed 41 heat pumps and 115 solar PV arrays. Growth was another key area they examined and OHM Energy is currently enjoying 150% year-on-year growth.
OHM Energy also works with a number of strategic partners to deliver a blend of funding, government grants, and finance options which, subject to qualifying criteria, can often result in a project being 100% funded.
Its funding options encourage more businesses to cut their carbon footprint and local companies it has helped this past year include Rossetts Mercedes, Gun Brewery, GT Factors, Jarvis Manufacturing, Wave Sport, and the Westgate Leisure Centre.
There were 11 categories at the event at Sofitel Gatwick Airport Hotel on July 14, attended by individuals and companies throughout the South East area that are involved in the energy efficiency industry.
Energy Efficiency Awards chairman, Gary Braybrooke said: “Companies and individuals working in the energy efficiency industry are carrying out some of the most vital work in the UK today. We all know we have to be more energy efficient as a nation, but it is our nominees and winners who are at the sharp end, creating often ingenious opportunities to help people save energy, drive down bills and help the environment”
Jason Lindfield, Founder and Managing Director of OHM says: “The Energy Efficiency awards celebrate the efforts of everyone in the sector. It’s been an exciting year for OHM with a record number of installations and the launch of our new training hub. We’re delighted to win the regional title and are looking forward to the national awards in September.”
Olly Healey, General Manager, added: “The last year has pivoted OHM Energy to a new level with unprecedented national growth and now we are planning our international expansion. The next few years are going to be even busier for the team.”
