UPOWA Expands into Three New Operational Regions
As demand grows for sustainable technology solutions, UPOWA’s expansion creates new jobs, tackles the green skills shortage, supports the transition to net zero and future-proofs its delivery capabilities.
Brickability Group PLC’s sustainable technology experts, UPOWA, will open three new operational regions in the South West, Midlands, and East Anglia. This strategic move aims to accelerate the growth of the business and meet the rising demand for UPOWA’s high-quality solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging solutions.
Helping Developers and Businesses Transition to Net Zero
UPOWA, with its team of clean energy experts, has already had a record-breaking year as they forged partnerships with leading housebuilders Barratt Developments, Taylor Wimpey and Redrow. The company’s expansion plan marks a significant step as it aims to assist more housing developers and businesses in meeting their sustainability targets.
Supporting the Growing Renewables Industry
UPOWA's Southwest presence will be bolstered with a new operational depot in Exeter, supporting projects in Devon, Bristol, Somerset, and Cornwall. The Midlands will see growth driven by a new depot in Sutton Coldfield, while East Anglia will benefit from a new depot in Bury St. Edmunds. These regional divisions will allow UPOWA to provide localised services with the robust resources of a national contractor, backed by Brickability Group PLC.
I am delighted to press go on the next stage of our growth strategy, opening three new operational regions. It will enable us to meet the growing sustainability needs of our customers and the wider industry. Having a regional focus will allow us to train and develop a skilled workforce from the local community, tackling the green skills shortage, while future-proofing our delivery capabilities.

UPOWA Go from Strength to Strength
The company’s expansion has created over 30 new jobs, significantly bolstering UPOWA’s end-to-end capabilities and distribution network. The new depots will support strong regional business connections with experienced management running from each location.
The Product, Sales, Technical Design and Support functions will continue to run from UPOWA’s Whiteley headquarters while programming, scheduling, and aftercare will be managed from the operational hub in Lee-on-the-Solent. The Operations Team, with 188 years of combined renewable, electrical, and roofing experience, will support each regional depot to ensure high standards of installation, quality, and safety.
Committed to Sustainability and Local Employment
In alignment with Brickability Group’s ESG targets, each operational depot will hold stock locally to ensure smooth and efficient material delivery by UPOWA’s network of installation teams. The new depots not only help to support the logistical needs of the business, but they also create significant local employment opportunities within the fast-growing renewables industry. UPOWA's strategy includes attracting and up-skilling local talent and training qualified electricians and roofers to install solar panels, battery storage, and EV chargers.
I’m extremely proud to see UPOWA officially open three new operational depots. We have seen record sales over the last year, and the new depots will further accelerate our growth plans. This investment demonstrates UPOWA’s commitment and ability to scale and support our customers with the rising demand for our sustainable technology solutions.
