WiseEnergy: Best Solar Asset Manager UK 2023
WiseEnergy, the solar asset management arm of the NextEnergy Group, manages over 1.8 gigawatts of capacity through 1,350 solar assets in nine countries.
It works with clients worldwide through offices in the UK, EU, US and India. WiseEnergy welcomes the rush of newcomers to the solar market, but differentiates itself with a track record of delivering superior returns by maximising revenue, reducing operational expenditure and minimising risk. It has automatised some reporting features, thereby reducing risk and service costs for clients while also improving the work-life balance of staff. The company believes its corporate culture contributes significantly to maintaining its competitive edge. With a moral compass that points true North, WiseEnergy attracts professionals with the talent and passion to solve pressing real-world problems. It continues to increase diversity and inclusion by removing barriers to recruitment. Last year, WiseEnergy has launched a pilot programme for promising candidates early in their careers and with atypical backgrounds (vs. others in the sector) allowing them to gain experience in renewables and allowing them to test out different departments and benefit from onsite training. The company invests considerable resources to keep employees feeling valued, supported and inspired. It made great effort to achieve gender pay parity and a leadership team that is equal parts male and female. It supports numerous charity causes and encourages the entire workforce towards altruism and activism. NextEnergy Group (of which WiseEnergy is a business unit) contributes five percent of annual profits to the NextEnergy Foundation, which works worldwide to increase clean energy, reduce emissions and alleviate poverty.
The CFI.co jury presents WiseEnergy — a repeat programme winner — with the 2023 Best Solar Asset Manager (UK) award.
