Energy Saving Trust to become social enterprise

23 May 2011: With the announcement made by DECC last week as part of their Delivery Review that core funding of the Energy Saving Trust (and Carbon Trust) is to stop at the end of this financial year, the Chief Executive of the Energy Saving Trust, Philip Sellwood, has announced that the EST is to now become a social enterprise and will seek charitable status. Core to the Trust’s activities going forward will be a number of regional energy saving programmes, with the trust looking to expand such initiatives.
