Energy Action Group (EAG)
Assisting members to mangage utility challenges
Since 2011 the Energy Action Group (EAG) has helped hundreds of UK charities & community organisations improve energy management & reduce Consumption, Cost & Carbon.
We help organisations with their commercial energy needs. Our services cover Energy Management, Energy Contracts and Energy Connections.
We provide help and technical support on a broad range of utility topics including Energy Efficiency & Sustainability, Energy Audits & Reporting, Green Energy, Metering & New Connections. We maximise buying power by pooling consumption, issuing combined tenders to negotiate competitive quotes from a wide range of suppliers, helping trusts and charities to reduce bills and save money.
Energy costs are a continual concern and reducing costs while maintaining service levels is challenging. We help users set realistic consumption targets and sell surplus renewable energy exports. We support, empower and advise clients on their Sustainability journey with practical measures and deep experience.
The Energy Action Group is managed and operated by Touchstone Systems Europe on behalf of its partners, providing a wide range of services to users. We have close relations with the Development Trust Associations of England, Scotland & Wales and the Association of Independent Museums. Many of our charity and 3rd Sector clients are members of these national Associations.
History of the Energy Action Group (EAG)
In 2010 a small number of energy and charity professionals joined together to explore the effects of ever-rising energy costs on charities and the wider 3rd sector. Individual charities had little influence over their gas & electricity suppliers and were often subject to predatory pricing coupled with unresolved billing issues and poor customer service. Energy suppliers held disproportionate power, leaving individual charities & trusts vulnerable in an unfamiliar but essential sector. In 2011 the Energy Action Group (EAG) was born. Today we continue to help charities & trusts around the UK to navigate the utility pitfalls so they can concentrate on providing their expertise and services to their communities and visitors.
