Medical device company Flexicare, headquartered in Mountain Ash, has secured a major new contract for green electricity from Hydro Wales. The agreement will cover all the electricity needs of its headquarters.
Hydro Electricity from Restored Mining Sites
The hydro electricity supplied through Hydro Wales is generated from restored sites originally built to power late-mining operations in north-west Wales. These schemes export surplus renewable electricity into local networks, benefiting Welsh businesses and communities.
Peer-to-Peer Agreement
This peer-to-peer agreement will meet the entire electricity demand of Flexicare's HQ. The company, with a turnover of £111 million, was established in 1989 and employs 300 people globally, with 100 at its Mountain Ash site, which provides well-paid corporate head office roles.

Part of ESG Agenda
The new energy supply agreement forms part of Flexicare's evolving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda, aimed at reducing operational emissions and supporting its drive to net zero. By securing renewable electricity for its UK operations, Flexicare is taking an incremental approach to decarbonisation that balances environmental responsibility with operational resilience.
Company Statement
Marc Davies, chief operating officer at Flexicare, said: “As a business proudly headquartered in Wales, it matters to us how we operate and who we partner with. This agreement is a practical step that reflects our responsibility as a global medical device company, while reinforcing our longstanding connection to Wales. Choosing energy linked to local hydro generation supports how we make long-term decisions: measured, responsible, and grounded in doing what is right, not just what is required.”
