Every year, we serve around 1.8 million people through our municipal wastewater contracts.

We also produce over 560 MWe of renewable and low carbon electricity, to power over 1.3 million homes.
We also anticipate the needs of tomorrow with innovative solutions that will decarbonise our energy and heating demands through the development of microgrids and energy management through our Hubgrade solution, which optimises the resources using digital and artificial intelligence.
