⚠️ Independence Disclaimer
Great British Energy (greatbritishenergy.com) is an independent energy comparison and information website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Great British Energy (gbe.gov.uk), the publicly-owned clean energy company established by the Great British Energy Act 2025.
The government entity Great British Energy operates at gbe.gov.uk. If you're looking for the official government body, please visit their website directly.
Our website provides independent information about UK energy grants, solar panels, heat pumps, and insulation. We may earn a commission when we connect you with installers or when you use our comparison services. This never affects our recommendations — we always put your interests first.
What we do
We make it simple for UK homeowners to understand and access energy-saving opportunities. The UK government runs several grant schemes — ECO4, the Great British Insulation Scheme, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme — but navigating them can be confusing. We cut through the jargon and tell you exactly what you're eligible for.
Our services include:
- Government grant eligibility checks — instantly see which schemes you qualify for based on your postcode, benefits, and property type
- Solar panel quotes — compare prices from MCS-certified installers in your area
- Heat pump quotes — find certified heat pump installers and understand your grant options
- Insulation guidance — learn about cavity wall, loft, and solid wall insulation options
- Comprehensive guides — detailed, up-to-date information about every energy scheme and technology
Why we exist
Millions of UK households are eligible for free or subsidised energy upgrades — but many don't know about them. Government websites can be hard to navigate. Installer quality varies enormously. And with energy costs still high, making the wrong decision is costly.
We built Great British Energy to solve this. One website where you can check every grant, compare every option, and connect with vetted installers — all for free, with no obligation.
How we make money
Transparency matters. Here's exactly how we fund this service:
- Installer referrals: When we connect you with an installer and you proceed with an installation, the installer pays us a referral fee. This is standard industry practice and doesn't add to your cost.
- Affiliate commissions: Some links on our site are affiliate links. If you switch energy tariff or purchase a product through these links, we may earn a small commission.
- We never charge you: All our guides, eligibility checks, and quote comparisons are completely free to use. You will never be asked to pay us for anything.
Importantly, our revenue model never influences our recommendations. We recommend the best option for you, not the one that pays us the most.
Our editorial standards
- Accuracy: All grant information is verified against official gov.uk sources and updated regularly
- Transparency: We clearly disclose when content contains affiliate links or sponsored recommendations
- Independence: We are not owned by any energy company, installer, or government body
- Timeliness: Energy schemes change frequently — we update our content to reflect current eligibility, amounts, and deadlines
- Citations: We link to official sources (gov.uk, Ofgem, MCS) so you can verify any claim we make
