Upvolt Ltd. is proud to announce its acquisition of OHM Energy, a well-established renewable energy business based in East Sussex, bringing new capability in heat pumps, commercial solar, and public-sector energy delivery into the Upvolt group.

This marks the third major partnership undertaken by Upvolt in our drive to become the UK’s number one national renewable energy installer — with more strategic acquisitions planned for this year and next. 

This acquisition is another important step in Upvolt’s ambition to be the UK’s most trusted end-to-end renewable energy platform. With OHM’s expertise, Upvolt can now offer fully integrated energy systems across residential and commercial sectors — from rooftop solar and battery storage to heating and electrification.

A Note from Alex Lomax, CEO of Upvolt Ltd.

“OHM has built something unique — a technically strong team, a real track record in public-sector delivery, and a focus on long-term partnerships. Their work with local councils, schools, and training academies shows the kind of lasting, local impact we want to be part of.

With Jason and the team continuing to lead the business, our goal is simple: support what’s already working, and bring the right resources to help OHM grow even further. This is a major step forward for Upvolt’s platform and our mission to accelerate the UK’s energy transition.”

A Word from Jason Lindfield, Managing Director of OHM Energy

“OHM has always been about people — our team, our customers, and the trust between them. With Upvolt’s support, we can now step up to help even more people and businesses decarbonise across the UK and move the country closer to net zero.”

No Disruption to OHM’s Operations

There are no changes to OHM’s day-to-day operations. Jason Lindfield, Managing Director, will continue to lead the business along with the existing team. All customer contracts, services, and support agreements remain exactly as they are.

A Broader Capability, A Shared Vision

This acquisition adds two critical pillars to Upvolt’s offering: heat pump installation and commercial-scale solar - alongside OHM’s standout training programmes for electricians and engineers, delivered in partnership with local councils.

OHM brings a track record of delivery across complex energy projects - from schools and hospitals to large-scale infrastructure - and shares Upvolt’s belief in building practical, trusted, and lasting energy solutions for customers.

Together, we’ll be able to serve more people, more comprehensively, in more places - while keeping the customer experience local, responsive, and accountable.
