Public Power Solutions LTD

A wholly-owned subsidiary of Swindon Borough Council, we offer innovative solutions for public sector organisations in the areas of Power and Waste

Our Power business brings together the best of the public and commercial sectors to deliver energy solutions that benefit private landowners or public sector organisations and the communities they serve.

Our Waste business provides innovative solutions for waste management and treatment for Swindon Borough Council, its residents and businesses, and other local authorities.

We believe local authorities and communities can benefit financially from the move to a more sustainable future, and want to use our expertise, experience and innovation to help make that transition.

We work with private landowners and public sector organisations throughout the UK to deliver renewable energy projects and waste solutions that save money, generate new income streams and support the environment.

PPS was named Most Proactive Public Sector Organisation in the 2016 Regen Green Energy Awards. This recognises a track record that has put Swindon at the forefront of the renewable revolution with innovations like:

The UK’s first solar farm funded by Council-backed solar bonds sold directly to the public

One of the UK’s largest standalone electricity battery storage facilities with a permitted capacity of 50 MW

The UK’s first ISA-eligible community solar bond investment

One of the UK’s largest solar farms completed in partnership with the Science Museum, 62MW, including a £62,000 annual community benefit fund focusing on learning, science and technology

The UK’s first Solid Recovered Fuel plant in the UK to process municipal waste into a high-calorie renewable fuel. This will be powered by a 2.5MW solar array – the ultimate in green energy

The UK’s first OJEU-compliant Dynamic Framework for solar projects in the public sector

PPS is now sharing the benefits of our approach, which has successfully helped Swindon maximise its assets, with other public sector organisations throughout the UK.

All our projects put communities at their heart, while creating value for the public sector through innovation and risk-reduction. They generate revenue through rent, business rates and investment opportunities, while saving taxpayers’ money through better efficiency and lower bills. Supporting the move to a more sustainable future.

We also manage all of Swindon Borough Council’s household waste treatment and disposal as well as offering a commercial waste recycling service.
