Perse Technology announces strategic partnership with EDF to accelerate decarbonisation for UK small businesses
Perse Technology is proud to announce a landmark partnership with EDF, the UK’s largest generator of zero carbon electricity, to help UK businesses reduce carbon emissions and energy costs.
As part of this partnership, EDF will roll-out Perse Technology’s Optimise Platform – a transformational tool that identifies cost-effective, low carbon solutions such as solar panels and heat pumps, without the need for onsite surveys.
With SMEs responsible for over a third of the UK’s carbon emissions, the platform offers a fast, data-driven way to evaluate financial payback and carbon savings, supporting smarter, more sustainable investment decisions.
Vikesh Sachdeva, Chief Strategy Officer at Perse Technology, commented: “SMEs play a vital role in the UK’s journey to Net Zero. Our platform enables EDF to offer its customers a simple, scalable way to assess and act on decarbonisation opportunities, without disruption or complexity.”
Since 2020, Perse Technology has delivered carbon-reduction solutions across residential and commercial sectors. It partners with financial institutions, landlords, energy suppliers, brokers, and generators to drive measurable emissions tractions and action.
Jon Perks, EDF’s Small Business Director, added: “Every business wants to cut costs and carbon emissions, but many don’t know where to start. Perse Technology’s platform exceeded our expectations – it’s user-friendly, scalable, and aligns perfectly with our goal to provide customer-first, low-carbon solutions.”
This partnership comes at a time of rapid growth for Perse Technology, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of decarbonisation solutions for both B2B and residential markets.
Jane Lucy, Chief Executive Officer at Perse Technology, concluded:
“This collaboration with EDF, one of the UK’s most influential energy suppliers, reflects the growing demand for practical, impactful decarbonisation tools. Together, we are empowering UK businesses to take measurable progress towards a sustainable future.”
