BHESCo was founded as a ‘for-purpose’ social enterprise, which means that our whole reason for being is to deliver meaningful social and environmental value to the communities in which we work.
BHESCo is an impact-driven organisation who measure success not by profits and dividends but by the savings achieved in energy costs and carbon emissions.
BHESCo are very proud of the remarkable things we have achieved since we were founded in 2012 and we are excited to grow our business and expand our reach and impact.
As a not-for-profit social enterprise it is important for BHESCo to demonstrate the social and environmental value that our projects deliver to the community.
Here are some of the most important achievements from our first ten years in business:
63 community energy projects completed
8,618 tonnes of CO2 savings over the lifetime of all projects

£2 million of community investment raised

122,000 tree saplings planted
BHESCo’s community energy projects have brought us together with churches and schools, warehouses and leisure centres, community centres and art galleries, and dance studios and office spaces.
Our team have experience with every kind of energy saving and energy generating technology from solar panels to heat pumps, and biomass boilers to battery storage.
You can get a flavour for the broad mix of community energy projects we have developed by browsing through our collection of Case Studies.
BHESCo partnered with the Montessori Place School to design and install a number of low-carbon technologies which work together to reduce energy costs and environmental impact.
As a result of our interventions, the school has reduced its annual carbon emissions by 80%.
