Next Energy has been appointed on a new national heating, renewables and electrical framework by Fusion21 worth up to £820 million across a four-year period.

The Knowsley-based energy retrofitting firm has been appointed to two lots, which cover domestic air source heat pumps (ASHP) and solar panels, allowing the company to design, install and service ASHP and solar systems, battery storage and associated works.

The Fusion21 framework was set up to help the owners of domestic and non-domestic buildings ensure they are safe and compliant with heating and electrical installations, and to support their journey towards carbon net zero.

Alongside traditional heating installation and electrical testing, the framework also covers innovative technologies dedicated to sustainable heating solutions.

Next Energy will join a total of 80 specialist firms which have also been appointed on the framework, now in its fourth year.

Lee McNally, director at Next Energy, says: “To have secured a place on Fusion21’s Heating, Renewables and Electrical framework is a great achievement for Next Energy and comes right off the back of a bumper year of contract wins in 2023, which amounted to £60m.

“The framework will allow us to continue to deliver best-in-class energy efficiency measures across the north west, and we look forward to working with new and existing partners on the delivery of these projects.”

Chris McQuillan, framework manager at Fusion21, adds: “We are delighted to welcome all of the new suppliers onto Fusion21’s Heating, Renewables and Electrical Framework, including Next Energy.

The tender process was highly competitive and has identified the best contractors for our members to use for the delivery of a whole range of heating and electrical programmes.

“Members accessing this framework will benefit from flexible call-off options, UK-wide coverage, and the option to deliver social value to their communities, aligned to their organisational priorities.”

Next Energy was established in 2016 in response to the government’s net zero ambitions. Since its inception, the company has provided energy solutions for more than 18,000 customers across the UK.
