CX Energy

What CX Energy does

CX Energy Ltd. is a UK-based engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor that designs and installs renewable energy and electrical infrastructure for commercial, industrial, and public-sector customers. The company delivers six service lines: solar PV systems, EV charging infrastructure, grid connection services, battery energy storage systems, private electrical network (PEN) infrastructure for high- and low-voltage applications, and ongoing faults and maintenance. Public claims include over 1 GW of solar energy designed, engineered, constructed and connected across the UK and Europe, and hundreds of EV charger projects ranging from 7 kW single units to 600 kW multi-cabinet depot installations. Core EV charging hardware is supplied through a strategic technology partnership with Kempower, providing dynamic power distribution, multi-cabinet scalability, CCS and CHAdeMO connector support, and remote monitoring via the ChargEye platform; solar work uses high-efficiency monocrystalline panels rated at 18–24% efficiency with 25–40 year design lifespans.

The business operates a sales-led, enterprise-focused go-to-market, securing work through direct enterprise engagement, framework agreements, and competitive tenders with public-sector clients. Named customers include Amazon Logistics (E-Truck charger installations at logistics sites), King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (PEN upgrade), GoAhead Group (PEN and EV charging), a major UK supermarket chain (battery storage across three sites), and a Romford bus garage operator (3+ MW depot charging network). Pricing is project-quoted under multi-year contracts with no public price list. CX Energy holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, NICEIC Approved Contractor, Achilles Network Stamp (Silver), and Safe Contractor certifications, supporting eligibility for regulated and public-sector frameworks.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RSK Group, a UK-headquartered global environmental and engineering solutions conglomerate, which provides capital, operational scale, and cross-disciplinary technical expertise. Office presence is in Guildford (UK headquarters) with company registration tied to Colchester; the firm employs 11–50 staff. Additional channel and technology partners include EO Charging, Instavolt, Applegreen Electric, and Vital Energi, supporting forecourt, fleet, and broader renewable infrastructure deployment. Operations are UK-domiciled, with the European footprint limited to past solar PV project delivery.
