Description
The Energy Saving Trust is organised as a social enterprise with charitable status. We have incorporated a new charitable parent company, under which is a non-profit company continuing to deliver substantial government-funded programmes, and a wholly owned trading subsidiary. We have an innovative range of services, which businesses and organisations can buy to equip themselves to benefit their customers. We remain independent and we will continue to provide communities and households with impartial advice. The Energy Bill that was introduced to Parliament on 8th December 2010 includes provision for the new Green Deal, which is intended to revolutionise the energy efficiency of British properties. The Government is establishing a framework to enable private firms to offer consumers energy-efficiency improvements to their homes, community spaces and businesses at no upfront cost, and to recoup payments through a charge in instalments on their energy bills.
