SALTAIRE-based Switch2 Energy has partnered with Southern Housing to manage operation of the housing association’s Brighton heat network.

The heat network supplies residents of Southern Housing’s Home X development, which is part of Brighton's £300m new city neighbourhood.

Switch2 will be responsible for operating and maintaining the entire heat scheme – making use of its smart technology to maximise efficiency, cost, and carbon performance.

As part of the long-term partnership, Switch2 will also provide customer service support for residents, together with smart metering and billing.

Loviene Dinnall, development manager for Southern Housing, said: "Each member of the Switch2 team has demonstrated in-depth knowledge of their area of the business and discipline.

“The team has been proactive, diligent, collaborative and solution oriented.

“Most of all, Switch2 has demonstrated a clear commitment to delivering a high standard of customer service."

Richard Harrison, CEO of Switch2 Energy, said: "We are delighted to partner with Southern Housing and will draw on more than 35 years' experience of developing and operating hundreds of heat networks.

“Our data-driven approach will ensure that we lower energy costs for residents, while helping to reduce carbon output."
