How the Trusted Partner Programme transforms UK renewables

The Trusted Partner Programme stands as Octopus Energy’s answer to expanding renewable energy access across British homes. Local expertise meets national standards as trusted installers step in where direct service proves challenging. Quality remains paramount while more families gain access to sustainable energy solutions. “We’re on an urgent mission to bring affordable green power to homes worldwide – fast,” reads Octopus Energy’s partnership platform. The programme expertly matches customers with specialist solutions when specific challenges arise:

• • Homes beyond existing service boundaries

• • Installations demanding specialist knowledge

• • Roofs needing bespoke solar configurations

Scale tells its own story. Octopus Energy Generation oversees approximately 4GW of renewable electricity through 240 green energy projects spanning 10 countries, managing £6 billion in assets. The future promises more – £15 billion earmarked for offshore wind aims to generate 20GW across Europe by 2030, enough clean power for 15 million homes.

Why Glo Renewables secured this coveted position

Excellence earned Glo Renewables their place among Octopus Energy’s trusted partners. “We see Octopus Trusted Partners as an extension of our brand, and as such we hold them to the same high standards that we expect of ourselves,” Octopus Energy explains. Partner selection demands excellence across four key areas:

• • Technical accreditations: Full MCS and OZEV certification

• • Consumer standards: HIES and RECC scheme membership

• • Customer experience: Proven track record through reviews and digital presence

• • Service quality: Unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction

“Octopus Energy is highly selective in choosing their trusted partners, with strict criteria that must be met to ensure quality and reliability,” confirms another partner. Regular performance reviews ensure partners maintain these exacting standards. Your solar journey gains extra certainty through this partnership. Expert installation meets innovative energy solutions, while smart tariffs maximise the value of your renewable investment. “When two heavyweights in the renewable and energy sector come together, it’s not just a collaboration – it’s a massive step in the right direction to delivering our net zero targets,” notes a fellow trusted partner.

How Does the Octopus Energy Trusted Partner Vetting Process Work?

Quality stands as the cornerstone of every Octopus Energy partnership. Their meticulous vetting process identifies exceptional installers who share the company’s dedication to excellence, giving you complete peace of mind when choosing renewable energy solutions.

Rigorous selection criteria separate elite installers

Excellence demands proof. Each potential partner faces thorough scrutiny of their technical credentials, including the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) approvals. These vital certifications confirm both equipment quality and installation expertise meet strict industry standards. Customer protection matters equally. Octopus Energy requires membership in respected schemes:

• • Home Insulation and Energy Systems Quality Assured Contractors Scheme (HIES)

• • Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC)

“This is in our DNA, and we need to be sure it’s in yours too,” emphasises Octopus Energy about their partner selection process. Every aspect of a potential partner’s presence receives careful attention – from website quality to customer feedback and social media engagement.

Quality assurance measures protect consumers.

Your satisfaction drives continuous oversight. “Providing an exemplary customer experience is the most important thing to us and we’ll regularly check in with them to ensure that’s the case,” states the company. Regular assessments ensure installations meet exacting standards while confirming customer delight with both products and services. Consumer protection remains paramount. RECC guidelines establish clear standards for renewable energy system sales, protecting you from initial contact through installation and aftercare. These established consumer codes add another layer of security when choosing Octopus Trusted Partners. Post-installation checks guarantee everything meets Octopus Energy’s high expectations. This watchful eye ensures quality never wavers throughout the partnership.

Training and certification requirements ensure excellence

Technical mastery sets partners apart. Right now, Octopus Energy’s commitment shows through upskilling approximately 300 engineers at the Energy Training Academy (ETA). Success means earning NICEIC accreditation – the gold standard for heat pump installation. The Energy Training Academy’s Ian Edgeworth shares their vision: “Our partnership with Octopus Energy is all about innovation and collaboration. Working closely with their training management team, we’ve crafted a unique curriculum and unparalleled training experience that sets new standards for delivery excellence”. Excellence demands dedication. Only the finest installers earn the right to represent Octopus Energy. The Edinburgh Boiler Company, having secured partner status, confirms facing “a stringent vetting process”. This careful selection promises you renewable energy solutions that match Octopus Energy’s renowned standards. Glo Renewables brings unique advantages to solar energy customers. Fresh expertise arrives in Devon’s solar landscape as Glo Renewables joins the Octopus Energy family. Our Totnes-based solar installation specialist brings local knowledge and technical brilliance to homeowners and businesses across Devon.

Customer service excellence sets new industry standards

Numbers tell one story, but happy customers tell the real tale. Glo Renewables matches Octopus Energy‘s passion for exceptional service, earning glowing praise from satisfied clients. Clear communication makes all the difference. “Storm provided us with excellent customer service, keeping us informed throughout the installation process,” shares one delighted customer.
