Cotswold Energy Group

What Cotswold Energy Group does

Cotswold Energy Group is a UK-based renewable energy installer that designs and delivers heat pump, solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, high heat retention storage heating and insulation systems for residential and commercial customers. Operationally based in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire with a registered office in Fareham, the company runs an in-house team of engineers, designers and energy specialists and markets nationwide coverage. Its technical scope spans ground source heat pumps (using borehole loops such as the 64-borehole, 1,088 kW system at Bournside School), air source heat pumps (advertised at ~350% coefficient of performance), solar PV with built-in panel optimisers and battery storage, water source heat pump installations for leisure and aquatic facilities, and full building insulation upgrades including external wall insulation for social housing.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time installation contracts (residential units priced from ~£4,611 for solar PV to ~£15,000–£35,000 for ground source heat pumps; commercial systems quoted on kWp basis with a Power Purchase Agreement option for zero-uptake customers), supplemented by paid design and feasibility studies, grant funding application services, and recurring annual maintenance subscriptions typically priced £100–£300 per year. Go-to-market is sales-led and hybrid: direct-to-homeowner via a website with instant solar quoting and free consultation booking, supplemented by phone-based inside sales and on-site commercial surveys; large public-sector deals (Somerset Council, Watford Community Housing, Gloucestershire Constabulary, Dudley Council, Bournside School) are pursued through direct tender engagement.

Cotswold Energy Group became a subsidiary of Genous Group in April 2026 in a transaction described as combining Genous' technology-led approach with Cotswold Energy's on-the-ground delivery expertise to accelerate UK rollout of renewable solutions. The company's certifications (MCS, Gas Safe, OFTEC, NICEIC, RECC, TrustMark) make it eligible for government schemes such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and ECO funding, which materially shape both pricing and customer economics. Major recent contract values disclosed in case studies range from ~£850k of expected customer savings over 20 years (Gloucestershire Constabulary) to £5.2M of project value (Watford Community Housing).

Direct peers

• E.ON UK: One of the UK's Big Six energy suppliers offering residential and commercial heat pump, solar PV, and battery storage installation. Cotswold's actual strategic partner for the 'Lower Bills, Built In' programme, but also a direct competitor in UK heat pump installation services.
• EDF Energy: UK energy supplier offering residential and commercial heat pumps, solar PV, and battery storage installation services. Comparable as a vertically integrated energy provider scaling UK heat pump installations.
• British Gas (Centrica): UK's largest residential energy supplier with a major boiler-to-heat-pump retrofit programme and solar PV offering. Direct competitor in the residential heat pump installation market with strong brand recognition and customer base.
• Geo Green Power: UK installer of heat pumps (ground and air source), solar PV, and battery storage for residential and commercial customers. Comparable mid-sized independent with similar product portfolio and engineering-led delivery model.
• PassivSystems: UK installer of heat pumps, solar PV, and energy efficiency solutions for homes and businesses. Smaller-scale direct peer with similar product mix focused on UK decarbonisation.
