The collaboration expands access to transparent renewable energy and biomethane solutions, empowering UK organisations to meet climate targets with confidence.
ACT Group today announced the continued success of its long-term partnership with Sustainable Energy First, the UK’s leading independent energy and sustainability consultancy. Over the past two years, the collaboration has enabled Sustainable Energy First to expand its renewable energy offerings while delivering greater transparency and more than £20 million in cost savings for clients in the last year alone.
Founded in 1997, Sustainable Energy First supports large and complex commercial estates with energy management and sustainability challenges. With a team of more than 160 specialists, the consultancy works across economic, environmental, and social sustainability dimensions—requiring energy solutions that meet the highest standards of credibility, transparency, and cost-effectiveness.
To support these requirements, ACT Group has provided Sustainable Energy First with a diversified portfolio of renewable energy solutions, including unbundled Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) and unbundled biomethane certificates. Beyond sourcing, ACT has acted as a strategic advisor, working closely with Sustainable Energy First to ensure that renewable electricity and biomethane solutions align with each client’s specific climate targets and sustainability goals.
This tailored approach has enabled Sustainable Energy First to offer its clients greater assurance that their sustainability strategies are delivering real-world impact—while remaining commercially competitive.
“The positive impact Sustainable Energy First has experienced by choosing ACT as our partner in sourcing Renewable Energy Certificates has been incredible,” said Yaseen Bahadur, Chief Procurement Officer at Sustainable Energy First. “Our valued customers trust our sustainability consultancy services to help them achieve their climate goals, so it’s integral we have a partner with the expertise it takes to deliver their objectives. ACT have helped us secure renewable electricity and biomethane certificates with diversified sustainability options, providing greater transparency and significant cost savings equivalent to more than £20 million in the last year alone. Our partnership with ACT has strengthened our position as the UK’s largest independent, privately held energy consultancy, and we look forward to continuing this success for many years to come.”
Through this partnership, Sustainable Energy First’s clients can now pursue climate targets with increased confidence—knowing their renewable energy choices are credible, transparent, and aligned with best-in-class sustainability standards.
