Perse Technology Partners with EDF to Hit Emissions and Cost Reduction Targets for SMEs

(IN BRIEF) Perse Technology has partnered with EDF to roll out the Optimise Platform, enabling UK SMEs to evaluate and implement cost‑effective, low‑carbon solutions such as solar panels and heat pumps without onsite surveys; the data‑driven tool calculates both financial payback and carbon savings instantly, supporting smarter investment decisions for a group responsible for over a third of national emissions; EDF’s Jon Perks and Perse’s Vikesh Sachdeva and Jane Lucy emphasize the platform’s user‑friendly, scalable nature and its critical role in driving net‑zero progress across the commercial sector.

(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 22-Jul-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Perse Technology has teamed up with EDF, the UK’s leading producer of zero‑carbon electricity, to empower small and medium‑sized enterprises to cut both carbon emissions and energy expenditures. Through this collaboration, EDF will deploy Perse’s Optimise Platform—a digital solution that pinpoints the most cost‑effective, low‑carbon measures, from solar installations to heat pump conversions, without requiring intrusive site visits.

With SMEs accounting for over a third of the nation’s emissions, the Optimise Platform offers an instant, data‑driven assessment of financial returns and carbon savings. This enables businesses to make informed investment choices swiftly and with minimal disruption. “Our platform gives EDF customers a seamless way to identify decarbonisation opportunities at scale,” said Vikesh Sachdeva, Chief Strategy Officer at Perse Technology. “This partnership underlines the pivotal role SMEs play in the UK’s net‑zero journey.”

Since its 2020 inception, Perse Technology has delivered measurable emissions reductions across residential and commercial sectors by collaborating with banks, landlords, energy suppliers, and brokers. Jon Perks, EDF’s Small Business Director, praised the platform’s ease of use and scalability, highlighting its alignment with EDF’s mission to offer practical, customer‑centric low‑carbon solutions.

Jane Lucy, CEO of Perse Technology, added: “Working with EDF—one of Britain’s most influential energy providers—demonstrates rising demand for actionable decarbonisation tools. Together, we’re enabling UK businesses to make real progress towards a sustainable future.”
