Association for Decentralised Energy

The Association for Decentralised Energy is setting the vision of a local, efficient, low carbon energy system which enables energy users to make the choices which work for them.

We are the leading trade association for decentralised energy, representing more than 160 interested parties from across the industrial, commercial and public sectors. 

Why decentralised energy  
Decentralised energy is energy based at or near the energy user and it has an integral role to play in the delivery of a flexible, smart energy future. Decentralised energy solutions:

are low carbon and efficient 
offer users more choice in how they meet their energy needs and control over their energy costs 
reduce network investment costs as long term demand decreases and/or users offer demand flexibility 
We do not advocate for one decentralised energy technology over another, believing customer needs should drive the solution. We work to create a strong, dynamic and sustainable environment for a range of technologies including combined heat and power, demand side energy services, energy efficiency and heat networks.
