Energy Suppliers' Offers

The Government’s Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) means energy suppliers with a certain number of customers operating in Great Britain are obliged to achieve targets for home energy efficiency. The suppliers therefore supply a range of offers which significantly reduce the cost of installing energy efficiency measures.
