What TGE Group does

TGE Group (trading as TGE Group and previously The Green Electrician) was a UK private limited company that supplied, installed, and maintained renewable energy and energy-efficiency systems for commercial, public sector, and agricultural customers. Founded by Stephen Davies in 2007 and incorporated in 2009, it was headquartered in Whitchurch, Shropshire (with a prior registered office in Wardle, Nantwich), and operated across Northwest England, the Midlands, Wales and, on a project basis, UK-wide. Under Managing Director Rupert Higgin from May 2010, turnover scaled from £500k to over £18m at peak, with 2016 turnover reported at over £11m and profit of £668,636 against net assets of £1.47m.

The company's technology stack spanned Solar PV (rooftop, ground-mounted, vertical facade, and export limiters), heat pumps (ground, air and water source), biomass boilers including district heating, solar thermal, wind turbines, low-energy lighting, EV chargers, destratification fans, and energy-efficiency ancillaries such as voltage optimisation, variable speed drives, and energy storage. A bespoke monitoring stack provided real-time output displays, performance reporting, and fault alerting, wrapped inside a Green Energy Management programme staffed by in-house energy analysts. The company also developed the Full House Ventilation System with JF McKenna and Fancom for livestock climate control.

Revenue was generated through one-time installation contracts, recurring monitoring and maintenance subscriptions, multi-year PPAs (electricity sales under a 20-year fully-funded SPV model backed by Macquarie Lending), and complementary professional services including energy procurement tendering and finance brokerage. Distribution combined an in-house enterprise field-sales team, a phone/email inside-sales function, and the GreenKit trade-sales subsidiary serving installers. The parent company, The Green Electrician Group Limited, was placed into liquidation in February 2017 and was dissolved on 14 July 2021.
