Tees Valley · the wider Tees Valley conurbation

Electricians, solar and EV charging in Teesside

Teesside spans Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Redcar and Darlington — a single labour and energy market of roughly 700,000 people anchored by Net Zero Teesside, Teesworks and the UK’s largest freeport.

Local context

Why Teesside matters for electrical and renewable

Teesside is the most polarised market we install across. Northern Powergrid is the DNO for every postcode from TS1 to TS29 and DL1 to DL3, so we use a single pre-approved G99/G98 process across the entire region.

Economic context

Teesside hosts the UK’s largest freeport at Teesworks, the Net Zero Teesside carbon capture and hydrogen cluster, the Hartlepool nuclear station, the Wilton chemicals complex and a fast-growing offshore wind supply chain at Port of Tyne and Hartlepool. The Tees Valley Combined Authority’s industrial decarbonisation programme is the most ambitious in England.

Energy context

The Tees Valley boroughs run between 2030 and 2050 council net-zero targets, with Middlesbrough Council’s 2034 target the most aggressive.

Paying next to nothing for electricity now

“Had solar panels and a battery fitted in February. By summer we were barely using any grid electricity at all. The monitoring app is great — you can see exactly what the panels are generating and where the energy is going.”

David R.

Sunderland

Smooth install, paperwork done properly

“North 85 surveyed the roof carefully (some installers had quoted me without measuring) and the layout they came back with put 12 panels where I expected 10. Net export to Octopus Outgoing is paying back faster than I had budgeted for.”

Great communication start to finish

“From the quote through to the final commissioning, the North 85 team kept me in the loop. Scaffold up Monday, install Tuesday-Wednesday, commissioned Thursday. Even helped me register for the SEG tariff. Highly recommend.”
