Serious Change is here to get a secure and sustainable energy system for Britain.  Using current research we aim to show the country the scale of the problem we face with information and simple games. We will ensure that government numbers add up for our energy production.  There are a lot of people out there with vested interests (“I don’t want nuclear”, “I don’t want wind power”). We aim to take a neutral view, just looking at the numbers. Our only agenda is to give Britain a long term energy system to support our economy and our people.  We will counter the mis-information that is constantly pushed out about our energy system.

CleanChoice Energy is a cleantech company based in Washington, DC that aims to provide individuals and businesses with easy access to renewable energy solutions. The company operates as an independent retail electricity provider, offering 100% wind and solar energy to customers across multiple competitive markets in the US.
CleanChoice Energy sources its renewable energy through the acquisition of bundled and unbundled Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from various wind and solar power generators. The company meets state-mandated renewable energy requirements by purchasing bundled RECs from within the respective regional grids, and it also acquires unbundled RECs from generators outside these grids to offer higher renewable energy rates to its customers.
In May 2023, CleanChoice Energy received an investment from True Green Capital Management, with plans to develop, acquire, own, and operate solar projects across 16 states. The company has a development portfolio exceeding 300 MW in various stages and aims to focus on the ISO-NE, NYISO, and PJM markets over the next five years.
As of 2023, CleanChoice Energy has supplied over 8.3 billion kWh of clean energy to its customers since its founding in 2012, resulting in an environmental impact equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the road or preserving 7 million acres of US forests for a year.

Terra Solar is an Irish renewable energy company dedicated to developing, financing, constructing, and operating utility-scale solar farms across the island of Ireland.

Alight is a leading solar developer and independent power producer in Europe. The Stockholm-based company develops, owns, and operates onsite and offsite solar projects across the region. Alight adopts a subsidy-free business model, offering solar energy to commercial and industrial customers through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) at fixed prices.
Alight's core technology involves the development and construction of ground-mounted solar parks as well as rooftop solar installations for businesses. These systems generate clean electricity, enabling companies to switch to renewable energy sources. Alight retains ownership of the solar assets and sells the power directly to customers through PPAs spanning 10 to 20 years. This approach shields energy-intensive businesses from volatile electricity prices while providing access to sustainable energy.

A notable project in Alight's portfolio is the 100 MW solar park in Hultsfred, Sweden, developed jointly with Neoen for fashion retailer H&M Group. The company has also undertaken Sweden's largest co-located solar-plus-storage plant, a 12 MW facility in Linköping completed in December 2022.
In November 2022, Alight received a EUR 150 million investment from Dutch firm DIF Capital Partners, enabling the accelerated buildout of its solar project pipeline across the Nordics and Europe. This transaction also facilitated Alight's transition into an independent power producer, with plans to retain ownership of future solar assets.
Key customers and partnerships
Alight's customer base primarily comprises large corporations and energy-intensive businesses operating across various industries. Notable clients include fashion retailers H&M Group and Kingspan, financial institution Swedbank, automotive manufacturer Toyota, and food distributor Martin & Servera.
In December 2022, Alight partnered with French renewable energy company Neoen to jointly develop and own the 100 MW Hultsfred solar park in Sweden, secured through a power purchase agreement with H&M Group. This project represents the largest solar PPA contracted in Sweden to date.
Building upon this collaboration, Alight and H&M Group signed additional PPAs in January 2024 for the construction of three solar parks in Blekinge, Södermanland, and Halland, with a combined capacity of 23 MW. These projects are expected to be operational by early 2025, further strengthening Alight's partnership with H&M Group in delivering renewable energy solutions.
