Blueskin Energy Limited

Blueskin Energy Limited (BEL) is a social enterprise established by the Blueskin Resilient Communities Trust (BRCT) to develop local green energy projects and to develop national relationships to advance this cause.

We are very proud of our latest initiative. Democratising our electricity supply has been part of the Trust’s mission since its establishment in 2008, and now BEL has been able to deliver a significant part of that puzzle. The Blueskin Energy Network is a participatory retail platform and smart grid marketplace designed to enable a much greater use of renewable technologies such as wind and solar energy.

Through smart technologies, we can not only make electricity consistently cleaner and cheaper, but pass savings directly onto members of BEN. By signing up to BEN, you can make a real impact on your power bill, our community and our environment.
