Company mission
Branch Energy's mission is to help people lower their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint.
Our take
Increased awareness of the negative impact of fossil fuels has led to homeowners worldwide showing interest in supplementing their energy with sustainable energy sources. However, this can be expensive and time-consuming to set up, with hidden fees and long crossover periods making it feel unworthwhile for customers to make the switch despite their desire to do so.
Branch Energy provides green energy to households, supporting customers throughout the end-to-end process from booking home energy reviews and transparent quotes to simplifying and minimizing their bills through smart devices. The company sources its energy from renewable and local wind and solar projects, whilst also promising to plant one tree per month for everyone one of its customers.
Whilst there are many options available for households looking to switch to green energy, Branch Energy differentiates itself from competitors by recognizing that customers want to directly support local renewable energy projects. The company has also focussed on making the switch as seamless as possible, guaranteeing no crossover period and claiming to save customers money on bills in the process.
