"We're building in two cities at once, with more phases ahead. We need an energy relationship that can keep up - and one we're proud to talk about. Knowing our buildings are powered by generators like those within a few miles of our sites, that's something our community, occupants and team care about. It's part of the story of what we're building here."

One relationship. A growing portfolio

The Cotton Works sites in Wigan came onto RED™ in December 2025. The Salford M5 units followed in July 2026. Same model, same bill structure - across two cities and two separate entities within the group. More sites and renewals are already underway for 2027 and 2028.

Power from the same landscape they're building in

Within tem's generator portfolio, five sites are within 20 miles of Heaton Group's buildings. Hydro on the River Ribble, biogas near Chorley, solar at Trafford Park. Heaton Group asked a specific question when they came to tem: where does our energy actually come from? This is the answer.

Built for a masterplan, not just a meter

The Cotton Works still has 950+ apartments, a food hall, a hotel, and offices ahead. Each phase needs a price that isn't at the whim of a wholesale market's volatility. tem's pricing is set through its own portfolio of generation - not what happens on the other side of the world. When markets moved sharply in early 2026, tem kept quoting while others pulled back. For a developer planning across a decade, that's the difference between a supplier and a partner.

Growing the North West. Growing with tem.

Multi-site property development means energy contracts that multiply with the portfolio: different phases, different cities, all needing the same reliability. Heaton Group moved four sites onto RED™ across two cities. When wholesale markets moved sharply in early 2026, their pricing held. And when they needed to answer the question investors and occupiers are increasingly asking - where does this building's power come from? - they have a real answer, with real generators close enough to point to.
