The news marks Good Energy’s fifth solar acquisition in 18 months and, according to a company statement, is the next step in the company’s strategy to “rapidly scale its service offering nationwide.”
The acquisition of Low Energy Services follows the acquisitions of Give energy powerAmelio Solar, Wessex Eco Energy and JPS Renewable Energy, and serves to extend Good Energy’s reach beyond England into Scotland.
Nigel Pocklington, CEO of Good Energy, said: “Low Energy already has a strong and established presence in Scotland and the North of England, and by bringing the business under the Good Energy brand we can provide the financial backing and support needed to accelerate growth.”
He continued: “Together we are well-placed to serve one of the fastest growing renewable energy markets in Britain, giving more businesses and organizations access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy, while accelerating the transition to a cleaner energy system for all.”
In April 2025, Good Energy itself acquired by smart grid technology company Esyasoft. New ownership was sought to support the expansion of Good Energy’s services, including into new markets.
In its April statement, Good Energy explained that the acquisition by Esyasoft would allow the company to transition from a public company to a private one, providing the freedom needed to grow while maintaining B Corp status.
Good Energy’s acquisitions have enabled the company’s growth in England and Scotland.
Jason Lowey, director at Low Energy Services, commented: “Working as part of Good Energy Group strengthens our offering, giving our existing customers and partners access to greater scale, while enabling us to deliver even more impactful solutions for new customers in the UK from our base in Scotland.”
Scotland sees an increase in demand for solar energy; small-scale installations increased by 174% between 2020 and 2023. Renewable energy generation in Scotland outpaced growth in Englandan increase of 11.5% year-on-year in 2024.
This growth makes Scotland an attractive market for British solar energy companies, which is currently underexplored. About 8% of households have certified renewable installations, leaving room for further expansion.
“More than ever, businesses are recognizing the commercial reasons for installing solar,” said Carl Hogg, Services Managing Director at Good Energy.
“By welcoming the Low Energy Services team and their wealth of experience to the Good Energy Group, we can help even more commercial customers in Scotland and the North of England decarbonize and reduce energy costs.”
