Which is best for my business?
A message from the founder
I have dedicated over 30 years to contemplating, researching, and teaching about renewable energy, carbon emissions and its intersection with climate change.
In my research and conversations, I've engaged with various industries, organisations and institutions. I discovered that some solar energy companies focus on selling solar panels, wind businesses on wind turbines, heat pump installers on heat pumps and voltage optimisation installers on... voltage optimisation etc etc. Business decision makers were sometimes receiving highly biased advice, leading to suboptimal choices. I have found some fantastic renewable and low carbon businesses over the years that I trust, I ask some of them to come in and talk to my students, I have also found ones I wouldn't trust.
Recognizing the crucial need for impartial guidance that considers the broader picture, comparing the effectiveness and costs of diverse technologies (in which I hold a Ph.D.), I established Sprake Energy. My aim is to provide entirely unbiased advice and deliver the best independent, tailored solutions.
At Sprake Energy, our mission is to assist businesses in decarbonizing, saving energy and money, whilst thriving—all without succumbing to greenwashing practices.
