Energy project management for commercial properties in Sussex
As Project Manager, BHESCo oversees every aspect of your energy project, including planning, installation, cost management and performance.
Energy Project Management Services for Sussex busineses
We are an expert team of specialist project managers, each with a career background in energy efficiency installations and renewable energy project development. Working together, we can understand how to overcome the unique challenges and complexities involved with your project.
As a community energy co-operative, our mission is to empower businesses in Sussex to realise their low carbon and energy efficient goals.
Why your energy project needs someone in the middle
A commercial energy project involves far more people than most businesses expect. Your installer, the local planning authority, UK Power Networks, your insurer, your landlord or freeholder, your energy supplier, your funder and your own finance team all need the right information at the right time, and they rarely talk to each other.
When that coordination falls to you, projects stall. A grid application waits on a structural survey. An installer waits on planning consent. A budget drifts because nobody is comparing quotes against the original plan.
BHESCo sits in the middle. We speak each stakeholder’s language, chase the details, and keep one version of the truth, so you get a single point of contact instead of eight separate conversations.

Case study - Phased solar at Dyke Golf Club, managed from start to finish
Installation of renewable energy and performance monitoring
Dyke Golf Club wanted to generate its own clean power without disrupting a working club. BHESCo managed the project in two phases, starting with an off-grid solar system for a shed on the course, then moving on to a 37kW in-roof SolarEdge array. Our project managers coordinated the installers, the sequencing of works and the technical approvals, so the club had one point of contact throughout.
The system is expected to save the club £204,250 and avoid 133 tonnes of CO2.
