We are pleased to announce that Tomato Energy are opening their physical retail space in the Derbion. Their mission is to empower UK communities to generate their own energy and power to their homes more affordably with a series of tariffs designed to shake up the energy market.

Joining other new arrivals such as Pavers and Castore, Tomato Energy is the latest brand to take space in Derbion, and builds on Derbion’s goal of attracting exciting new and growing occupiers to Derby and expanding on the retail offering.

Beth McDonald, Managing Director at Derbion said: “We are really excited that Tomato Energy has selected Derbion for its first physical retail store. Their goal of encouraging UK communities to live affordably and sustainability with their innovative approach to installing solar panels at home, aligns with our own commitment to delivering a sustainable future through Derbion’s ESG strategy, with a focus on creating sustainable operations, healthy communities and lifestyles.

“This letting to a growing and innovative business is a great example of our progressive leasing strategy which attracts new occupiers outside of the traditional retail space. Tomato Energy’s arrival will have a positive impact on our existing retailers as we expect them to attract visitors from across the East Midlands helping to drive footfall and sales.”

Dominika Walker from Tomato Energy, said: “There was no better place for our first ever physical store than the Derbion – who we felt really matched our enthusiasm for community spirit, not to mention our desire to do things a little differently.

“Community is a huge focus for Tomato Energy – and long-term we envisage creating a network of properties in Derby and Derbyshire who are able to collectively generate and benefit from renewable energy without prohibitive upfront costs.

“More than anything, we think people are tired of faceless power companies who seem to make endless profits without giving back. We can’t wait to open the store, meet the community and show how, together, we can take charge of our energy future.”
