BHESCo have partnered with Co-op Energy to encourage customers to switch to 100% clean, renewable electricity. Co-op Energy are the only supplier to source their energy from community owned generators like BHESCo.
For every customer who switches to Co-op Energy a donation is made to BHESCo’s fuel poverty fund so that we can help those who struggle with their energy bills in Brighton and Hove.
Brighton & Hove produces hundreds of tonnes of food waste every day. Why not use it to create clean biogas for local properties?
