Vital invests in New Swansea Base

Vital Energi open new offices as part of multi-billion-pound effort to accelerate decarbonisation across Wales.

We've opened a dedicated facility in Swansea to support our multi-billion-pound effort to accelerate decarbonisation across Wales.

The expansion comes as the result of a growing pipeline of energy generation, networks, and storage solutions worth £2.5 billion.

To deliver current and future work, our 760-strong workforce will increase by approximately 50%, adding 400 new green jobs in the UK over the next five years.

The regional offices will facilitate direct collaboration with local authorities and housing associations to tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions. They will also support decarbonisation projects for other organisations including universities, hospitals, airports, and the industrial sector.

This expansion marks the next step in our pathway to not only develop and deliver energy assets but also be the asset owner. Through strategic collaborations, the company continues to strengthen its ability to develop, deliver and own energy infrastructure and generation assets that benefit local communities across the UK.

Solution detail

The expansion of sustainable energy infrastructure in Swansea marks a significant step towards our regional and national net zero goals. Low-carbon energy projects are pivotal in decarbonising our built environment, particularly in sectors like healthcare where energy demands are so high. As we navigate the challenges of climate change, collaborations with innovative energy service providers are becoming increasingly crucial. The partnership we have developed with Vital Energi has helped drive our transition to sustainable energy systems and also stimulated our local economy through job creation and skills development.

“Alongside this growth, we're driving an ambitious recruitment campaign to fill a wide range of green jobs. We're creating exciting opportunities for individuals passionate about sustainability and clean energy to join our mission of protecting our planet for future generations. We are committed to contributing to the country's net zero goals by cultivating a highly skilled workforce and collaborating with public and private sector partners.”
