Sustainable energy solutions developer Vital Energi has supercharged its operations, opening new offices in Newcastle and Swansea and expanding the scale of its presence in Glasgow, Scotland. 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, Vital Energi’s 760-strong workforce will increase by approximately 50%, adding 400 new green jobs over the next five years. As well as new offices and the Glasgow expansion, the firm’s Blackburn headquarters has undergone a major refurbishment to modernise the office space and increase seating capacity by a third.
This expansion marks the next step in Vital Energi's 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.
In addition to educating and training the green workforce of the future at its £2 million state-of-the-art training facility in Blackburn, Vital Energi also invites industry organisations to learn from their experts, addressing the need to train, upskill, and reskill the UK’s workforce in line with the country's net zero ambitions.
The company's expanded presence will enhance collaboration with public sector organisations across the UK, from Scotland to London, delivering large-scale projects that tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions. Vital Energi's expertise in decarbonising diverse sectors - from universities and hospitals to airports and industrial facilities - has already connected over 100,000 homes and buildings to sustainable heat networks.
