Energy Saving Trust

Energy Saving Trust is a British organization founded in 1992, dedicated to promoting energy efficiency, energy conservation, and the sustainable use of energy, with a mission to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and combat climate change. Formed as a public-private partnership after the 1992 Earth Summit and government energy policy initiatives, it operates as a private company limited by guarantee with all profits reinvested to further its climate-focused objectives.

The Trust acts as a bridge connecting consumers, governments, businesses, local authorities, and the energy market. Its primary audience includes consumers and households, local authorities, energy companies, and policymakers. Energy Saving Trust provides a wide range of services including free advice and information on energy-saving practices, grants and funding advice for energy projects, energy-saving certifications, research and policy analysis in energy-conservation, and management of government energy programmes.

With regional offices across the UK, it is the largest provider of energy-saving advice and has a proven track record in achieving measurable energy, cost, and carbon savings. The Trust supports low-carbon transport options and renewable energy adoption, offering resources for individuals and businesses alike.

A significant role it plays is managing the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme on behalf of the UK regulator Ofgem, which channels funds from energy companies breaching regulations to support vulnerable consumers and fund environmental initiatives.

The organization’s focus is not only on UK operations but also extends to international advisory and consultancy services to support decarbonisation. It continues to engage governments and industry in delivering transformative energy programmes while empowering millions of householders to make sustainable energy choices annually. Energy Saving Trust is recognized as a respected and trusted voice on energy efficiency and clean energy solutions.
