Energise Sussex Coast

Energise Sussex Coast is a local community energy co-op set up to help tackle fuel poverty and climate change in East Sussex. We do this by helping people use less energy, save money on bills, and by supporting local renewable energy projects.

If you're a resident, you can get free energy advice and a free energy-saving kit by booking a phone or face-to-face appointment with us. We can help with things like:

• Tips to save energy and cut costs
• Help with high or confusing energy bills
• Support with energy debt and applying to trusts for help
• Grants for household essentials like cookers or fridges
• Emergency top-up vouchers for gas and electric (if referred by a support worker)
• Speaking to energy suppliers on your behalf
• Advice on insulation, heat pumps and solar

We also work with local people on green energy and climate projects. You can volunteer in your community by become an Energy Champion and help spread the word about saving energy and going green in their communities.

We run regular events, workshops and learning activities in Hastings, Rother, Eastbourne and Wealden.

If you’re part of a community building or school and want to look into getting solar panels, renewable heating, or making your building more energy efficient, get in touch! Our sister co-operative Energise South can help – and large roofs may even qualify for fully community funded solar panels.
