Why use Kaizen Energy?
From our years of experience in the operation of community heating systems or district heating systems, Kaizen Energy understand that all systems are technically & culturally unique. With that in mind, we take a systemic view when developing the best solution for our clients. Kaizen Energy find that the success of a community heating system often hinges on delivering a good value heat service to residents which funds all the running costs of the system for the owners. This is a delicate balancing act that Kaizen Energy have a proven track record in delivering to our clients which involves actively driving down input operational costs while sustainably maximising the revenue collected from residents.
For new builds, Kaizen Energy can provide services ranging from initial design and funding of new and retrofit projects through to project management and oversee operational handover. Kaizen Energy will act as the energy services company (ESCO) on behalf of our customers including residents, property managers and commercial developers.
