By Acquiring EuroSite Power, Energy Group TEDOM Strengthens Its Presence in the UK

14.04.2025

The global energy group TEDOM announces another acquisition. It is purchasing a 100% stake in the British company EuroSite Power for an undisclosed amount. EuroSite Power is one of the key players in financing and operating combined heat and power (CHP) units for commercial clients, including hotels, stadiums, sports facilities, and wellness centers. In the UK market, which is estimated to be growing at an annual rate of over 6%, the company operates nearly 50 sources with a total capacity of almost 6 MW under their On-Site Utility or OSU model.

EuroSite Power is a key provider of ESCO services using its OSU model. It installs, finances, operates, and maintains low-emission energy sources directly on customers’ premises—right at the point of consumption. The company primarily relies on combined heat and power production using CHP units but also offers Solar PV solutions. In total, EuroSite Power operates 48 sources in the UK with a total capacity of 5,932 kW, focusing mainly on hotels, wellness centres, and sports arenas.

There is strong long-term demand for EuroSite Power’s services, particularly in the context of the UK’s energy decarbonization efforts, the preference for decentralized heat production, and the reduction of carbon footprints. The company’s references include prestigious projects such as three Hilton hotels, the Coventry Building Society Arena, and the NHS hospital in Clifton, England.

Thanks to this acquisition, TEDOM’s business in the UK could grow by approximately 25%. Until now, TEDOM has supplied and operates around 200 CHP units in the country and is considered one of the largest suppliers of small-scale, scalable energy sources for “net zero” strategies. The acquisition of EuroSite Power provides TEDOM with an opportunity to further strengthen its position in the CHP and broader low-carbon energy segment, specifically within the 20–4500 kW range.

“The partnership with EuroSite Power represents an important milestone in our development, not only in the UK market but also globally. The future of energy lies in decentralization and low-emission energy production directly at the point of consumption. In a field where we have long been strong and compete with the largest providers, we are now gaining additional valuable know-how through a number of prestigious projects,” says Ladislav Zeman, CEO of TEDOM Group. “We are demonstrating that combining heat and power generation with other systems, such as heat pumps or photovoltaic power plants, makes both economic and ecological sense.”

The UK Market Offers Diverse Opportunities

The UK’s CHP market is one of the most important in Europe and among the strongest globally. As a traditional coal powerhouse, the UK is increasingly relying on CHP as part of its decarbonization strategy. The market size is expected to grow from an estimated $78.62 million in 2025 to $105.86 million by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.13%.

TEDOM is also betting on this growth. However, it envisions the future in integrated systems—combining CHP units with solar power plants, storing generated energy in battery storage, or linking CHP systems with heat pumps. Under the OSU model, TEDOM also aims to offer stand-alone solar PV, battery storage solutions, electric vehicle infrastructure, and small wind power plants.

EuroSite Power Projects

Coventry Building Society Arena: Ensuring Economic Sustainability

In 2017, EuroSite Power was selected as a supplier to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions for the CBS Arena. CHP was identified as the best solution, mainly due to the stadium’s above-average heating requirements, which arise from heating the pitch in winter and the year-round heat demand from the adjacent hotel and conference centre. The project included the design, construction, and installation of a 30-meter-high double chimney, designed to blend aesthetically with the stadium’s architecture and white cantilevered roof supports.

In just two years, the project achieved:

CO₂ emissions reduction: 302 tons
Energy cost savings: £89,543
Electricity generated: 2,552,267 kWh
Heat generated: 3,522,899 kWh

Three Hilton Hotels: Reducing Operating Costs and Enhancing Sustainability

The Ability Group, which operates 3 luxury Hilton hotels in the UK, sought a solution for significantly reducing operational costs. Key areas of energy consumption included site lighting, pool heating, and air conditioning systems—all serving 1,023 luxury rooms, multiple restaurants, bars, and leisure facilities. EuroSite Power implemented an On-Site Utility Solution, covering the financing, installation, and operation of CHP units ranging from 5.5 kW to 125 kW, all while keeping the hotels fully operational.

In the first five years, the project achieved:
