ACTION OVER TALK, IMPACT OVER INTENT
About Us
End Energy Poverty CIC was created by the coming together of BACB Renewables Ltd and CERT CIC directors. Our combined expertise in renewable energy, social enterprise, and public sector innovation allows us to tackle the pressing issue of energy poverty effectively.
We aim to reduce energy costs, improve the quality of living, and reduce carbon footprints for community organisations, third-sector businesses, and vulnerable individuals, all of which contribute to the abolition of energy poverty. Our mission is to empower communities with access to affordable, sustainable energy while ensuring energy equity for all.
