Donโt leave it to the last minute!
Start making smart investments in home retrofit now with CEBโs expert guidance to avoid Gov and mortgage lender regulation possibly devaluing your home in the near future.
The BEAT Winter Meeting was an important moment for each of us to learn the niches that the others fill. When people come to Brum Energy for home energy/retrofit support, they always have differing circumstances, we serve the whole city after all. With the group we can efficiently pass them to a partner who focuses on thier particular issues.
Here's to hoping that our efforts to get refunded are successful. We have learnt so much over the last year and a half and have helped 1000's. We know the changes that need to occur so we can stimulate more home retrofit measures.

Could your community building be suitable for our next phase of large solar power installations?
Community Energy Birmingham is a renewable energy cooperative that funds, installs and operates renewable energy in community buildings in Birmingham. We are a community benefit society with an open membership and we are run in accordance with cooperative values and principles. We are run by a voluntary board that is elected by the membership.
We are looking for the right type of partner organisations with suitable buildings in Birmingham for our next phase of large solar power installations.
If your building is suitable then we are interested in working with you to install solar power on your building. There would be no upfront capital cost for you. You would buy some, or most, of your electricity from us, at a lower price than you currently pay your electricity supplier.
If you think you are the right type of partner for us then please click here to answer a few questions. Your building should be located in Birmingham. For general enquiries about this project please email [email protected]
