Camilla Born MBE, CEO of Electrify Britain was on BBC News yesterday discussing the Warm Homes Discount - and why electrification is key to cutting household energy bills ⚡

She welcomed the Warm Homes Plan support for low-income households.

⚡A good start - but now the government must be laser-focused on cutting bills.

It’s genuinely positive to see electric technologies recognised as a core tool to lower household energy costs, especially for those on the lowest incomes.

There’s a lot of noise about whether investment in electric vehicles is “worth it”.

The reality?
The evidence is clear. ⬇️

🎄 Electrify Britain’s Power-Up to Christmas: Day 24 ⚡

As 2025 closes, a reminder from our CEO, Camilla Born, feels more important than ever: cutting support for heat pumps, low-income schemes, or EVs locks people into a higher-cost, gas-dependent future.

Before Christmas, let’s ditch some electrification myths we’re not taking into 2026 👇

❌ “EVs are only for the wealthy”
✅ After energy & auto, healthcare is the biggest user of salary sacrifice - mainly nurses.

⚡ Introducing the Electric Brewery Field ⚡

We’ve sponsored the Electric Brewery Field in Bridgend - home to the @ospreysofficial.bsky.social this season & permanent home of the Bridgend Ravens.

It’s more than logos & signage: energy bills shouldn’t cost clubs.

🎄☀️ Power-Up to Christmas, Day 7: Solar panels love winter more than you think.☀️🎄

They don’t hibernate - cold air actually boosts efficiency by keeping panels at ideal temps. Shorter days = less total output, but winter solar can still perform brilliantly.
