About Us - EEA Energy Efficiency Association

Our Purpose

Following the collapse in funding of the Government's Green Deal scheme in 2015, and the subsequent changes to other energy efficiency schemes the following year, there was a lot of confusion in the industry about what was going on.

It was recognised that this confusion was not helping the consumer, who was also being preyed on by rogue traders who were giving the sector a bad reputation.

After numerous discussion with companies across the energy efficeincy sector about the way forward the EEA was set up.

The Energy Efficiency Association was to be an independent body that could provide unbiased information and expertise from within its membership to help consumers and businesses make informed decisions about energy efficiency, and find trustworthy companies to help them complete energy efficiency projects.

Since our founding, over “580 companies have joined our membership and we have run 30 conferences and events, made numerous direct introductions within the industry, been asked by politicians to help them find experts within the industry, and helped consumers avoid unscrupulpous traders.

The EEA is a community of thinkers and doers who believe that everyone should have access to the resources that enable more energy efficient energy use.

We believe the most sustainable and affordable energy is the energy not used.

Energy efficiency is good for the economy, the environment and creates jobs in all sectors nationwide.

We are dedicated to linking the energy and housing sectors together in order to maximise the benefits of energy efficiency and to ensure access for millions of low-income residents.

Our purpose is help you.
