An Energy Services Company (ESCo) is a company, like Vital Community Energi, that provides comprehensive heat network services, such as energy procurement, design, finance, operation, maintenance, life cycle replacement, metering & billing and customer services.
Your business is housing, our business is supplying heat. With the changes in the heat market, we offer you a complete Energy Services Company (ESCo) solution through Vital Community Energi, so you can concentrate on your core activities.
By handing over your heating and hot water requirements to Vital Community Energi, you will benefit from a fully managed energy services arrangement, via a formal Energy Services Agreement (ESCo), to supply heat services to your new or existing development.
By 26th January 2027, every heat network operator and supplier, will be expected to register with Ofgem, complying with regulations across their 29 conditions. With Vital Community Energi, you can hand over this burden.
Developed in line with the Heat Trust scheme and Ofgem guidance, Vital Community Energi ensures above all, that customers are treated fairly. We ensure that customers have fair pricing, clear visibility of their bills, transparent communications and are reassured with a seamless accessible service.
We can support your housing priorities, by delivering reliable heat and taking on your regulatory burden and risk. We will take you through a seamless handover process of reviewing assets, documentation, contractual agreements and mobilisation.
We can take on existing legacy networks, in just the same way that we support new build heat networks.
You may not have a formal Energy Services Agreement in place, but you are, by default, an ESCo and we can adopt an existing schemes like yours.
