Energy as a service provider eEnergy Group (LON: EAAS) more than doubled full year revenues to £21.8m and the reported loss was reduced from £1.85m to £1.15m.

There have been management changes and the potential pipeline of opportunities adjusted. The £40m NatWest facility has been terminated at the cost of £300,000.
