About the Partnership

What We Do

The aim of the Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes (the Partnership) is to achieve energy efficiency in homes and alleviate fuel poverty through engaging cooperation and collaboration within the supply chain for energy efficient products and services. The Partnership has a comprehensive footprint within all relevant industry and social sectors and provides an effective mechanism for cross-sector cooperation and joint delivery of energy efficiency initiatives.

Members of the Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes work together by sharing information and undertaking joint projects to:

• Achieve more effective marketing and delivery of energy efficiency in homes.
• Discuss, inform and influence public policy relating to domestic energy efficiency and fuel poverty as well as securing long-term government support for all involved in the UK domestic energy efficiency market.
• Drive more rapid and effective development of national standards for energy efficiency and quality control, such as the Partnership's successful role in extending the Energy Saving Trust Recommended (ESTR) label to new products.
• Encourage industry best practice - among companies and organisations developing and selling energy efficient products, or those running schemes to tackle fuel poverty or giving energy efficiency advice.

Most of the Partnership's work is coordinated through the operation of Working Groups, which meet quarterly.

Funding and administration:

• The Council, consisting of Partners and two Deputy Chairs, oversees Partnership activities.
• The Secretariat facilitates the operation of the Partnership.
• Funding is received from the Department of Energy and Climate Change, while the Energy Saving Trust facilitates the Partnership.
• The governance of the Partnership is set out in the Partnership's Constitution.
