We’re pleased to welcome Harrison Miles to TEC as our new Head of Market Analysis and Portfolio Management.
“I’m delighted to join the team at TEC and thank the team for the warm welcome! I’m looking forward to meeting more of the membership soon.
I’ve spent 8 years in the energy sector, mainly in trading and portfolio management. At Good Energy, I led hedging and pricing for PPA generation and supply portfolios. Prior to that, I worked at Social Energy and GMSL, focusing on domestic solar, battery customers, and upstream gas and power.
Outside of work, I’m a keen runner, cricketer, Exeter City fan, and F1 enthusiast.”
Recent Webinar – EDF Solar Services Webinar On 21st May, we held a webinar with EDF and their solar partner, SAS Energy, in which the following topics were discussed.

Upcoming Webinar Friday 20th June – 2:00pm – 3:00pm – Effective Energy Demand Reduction Strategies.
We would like to invite you to our upcoming webinar where we are joined by Cardiff Metropolitan University. Contact your MSA for the registration link.
Cardiff Metropolitan University have reduced gas consumption by over 20% in the first nine months of the academic year vs the same period last year, by identifying utilities waste and implementing a series of control measures.
The resulting impressive reduction in energy spend, in the hundreds of thousands, has been delivered from within existing maintenance budgets. Their insights have led to cross-organisational analysis of member data by TEC that suggests there might be significant potential for others to do the same at scale.
Many organisations try this, so how have Cardiff Met been so successful? In this webinar and question and answer session, Graham Lewis and Lee Davies from the University will talk about their approach, and how it has potential relevance across other sectors.
Upcoming Dates for your Diaries As part of our commitment to keeping members informed on carbon reduction solutions, we invite you to hold the following dates / placeholders for our upcoming update sessions throughout the year.
