Led by Energise Sussex Coast BHESCo Started in Brighton in 2012. The organisation aims to reduce fuel poverty in Brunswick and Adelaide area whilst reducing the wards dependency on the ‘big six energy suppliers’ (Hunt, 2017). BHESCo achieve this by conducting free energy assessments in people’s homes, encouraging them to switch to cheap suppliers and cut down on energy use. Furthermore, BHESCo provides low income homes with free energy efficiency equipment such as draught proofing kits and offers renewable energy measures on a ‘pay as you save’ basis to ensure that money spent on bills is kept within the local community by which the organisation is owned and run by. They are part of the Big Energy Saving Network Scheme that aims to help vulnerable or low income households save up to £200 a year on energy by switching to a more affordable supplier or tariff (Hunt, 2017)
