Frequently Asked Questions

Discovering SEG CIC

Is SEG a commercial company or something different?

SEG is a Community Interest Company (CIC), which means we are legally required (and for all the right reasons) operate for community benefit, not private profit.
We also work with only preferred suppliers to keep costs down thus ensuring we meet our aims with regards reinvestment and support.

What does it mean that you are a not-for-profit?

Any surplus income SEG makes is reinvested into helping more schools, housing providers, and businesses access renewable energy. Nothing is paid out to private shareholders.

How does SEG choose which projects to support?

We prioritise projects where the social impact is greatest, such as reducing costs for schools, lowering fuel poverty in housing, or helping businesses invest in greener futures.

Where does the funding come from?

SEG brings together government support, community investment, and trading revenues to fund projects. This ensures organisations don’t face upfront costs.

Can social housing providers benefit too?

Yes. While the G-Max offer is currently only for schools and businesses, SEG also develops tailored solutions for social housing providers to reduce bills and improve energy efficiency.

Who runs SEG?

SEG was co-founded by leaders in the renewable energy sector and is governed by CIC rules to ensure accountability and transparency.

What happens if SEG grows?

As we expand, more communities, schools, housing providers, and businesses will gain access to funded renewable energy solutions. Our impact grows with every project.
