Business Breakfast: Harrogate energy firm lands £10m deal with Norwegian giants
Mike Kaye, managing director of Energy Oasis.
A Harrogate company that helps firms reduce their energy bills has agreed a £10 million deal with a global aluminium manufacturer.
Energy Oasis, which is based on Victoria Avenue, will operate at four UK sites belonging to Norwegian giants Hydro.
The 18-month contract will see it install intelligent LED lighting, replace roofs and install solar photovoltaic on Hydro's sites at Birtley, Cheltenham, Bedwas and Tibshelf.
Mike Kaye, managing director of Energy Oasis, said:
“We are really happy to be working with Hydro on their journey to net zero.
"The combination of technologies means that we are having a dramatic impact on their carbon footprint and energy security.
"They now have a fixed cost for a proportion of the electricity they need as a business by generating green electricity on their sites."

Following the appointment of Mr Denton, Georgia Parkin, managing director at Truth Legal, said:
“Oliver's appointment reflects how we are looking to build our presence in our core areas of work, drive further brand awareness of Truth Legal and to promote our mission to provide justice for all, regardless of their financial circumstances.
