Working together
We work closely with businesses and our fellow utility companies to develop innovative solutions to shared problems and challenges.
Key organisations and industry forums include:
Energy Innovation Centre (EIC): acts as our dating agency with SMEs (Small to Medium Enterprises). Through the EIC, we can work with a community of more than 2,000 businesses to develop solutions to common industry issues. It’s a great way to source expertise and ideas, while also investing in local firms. Learn more about the EIC here
