Thrive’s mission is to connect people to clean energy projects. Together with renewable energy developer, installer and operator, Plugyy Energy Solutions, we’re aiming to enable more public and private organisations across the UK to benefit from access to cleaner, cheaper power on site.

We’ll be enabling organisations to install solar arrays that are owned by Thrive, on or near their premises, so they can purchase the electricity generated at a fixed and discounted rate compared to the grid, with zero upfront capital investment. This agreement is sometimes referred to as a “direct wire” PPA.

The partnership specifically targets the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) sector, public sector bodies, water utilities and education, empowering them to transition to clean energy through more accessible funding models.

The collaboration combines Plugyy’s expertise in developing, installing and operating solar and battery storage infrastructure with Thrive’s 30 years’ experience funding clean energy projects across the UK.

“We are pleased to partner with Plugyy to expand the reach of direct wire solar. Our mission is to connect people to clean energy projects, and this collaboration provides a tangible way for the commercial and industrial sector and public sector organisations to contribute to the UK’s 70GW solar target while helping secure their own financial future.”

“This partnership allows us to scale our mission of empowering organisations to take control of their energy future. Working with a funder like Thrive Renewables ensures our clients have the most robust financial backing to support their transition to clean energy.”
