4. South East Wales Energy Agency (Newport)
Energy Charity | Established in 1994
The South East Wales Energy Agency is an independent member of the European Energy Agency Network, a voluntary group of 402 local, regional and national agencies that provide services both to energy users and public authorities. These services include independent advice and guidance, technical support and policy advice as well as an information channel between EU policy makers, users and public authorities. Much of its current work is focused on scheme management and providing practical assistance to low income households to lift them out of fuel poverty. This is achieved through the provision of free or low cost energy saving measures, including systems such as external wall insulation, replacement boilers and solar panels. This, through reducing energy consumption, also contributes to the carbon reduction agenda.
