Confused About Energy is a free impartial service to help you save money on your energy bills. Many of the campaigns and advice about energy focus on reducing your ‘carbon footprint’ or reducing ‘carbon dioxide emissions’ whereas what most people want to know is how they can really cut their energy costs.

Much of the available information regarding energy costs and energy savings is confusing and misleading. At Confused About Energy we aim to cut through the jargon and provide practical advice on how you can cut your energy bills.

For example many new consumer electrical products have energy ratings, however these give no indication of running costs and it does not necessarily follow that an A rated machine is cheaper to run than a B rated machine! Similarly there are many energy saving products now available, but how much money will they save you and are they worth the initial purchase cost? We help to answer these questions and more!

The Technical Zone of confusedaboutenergy.co.uk provides more in depth technical information about power generation, renewable technologies such as solar and wind power and energy saving devices. It contains articles that debate the technical issues in more detail and it will appeal to both technology experts as well as those enthusiasts that wish to learn more about technology developments in this area and how they work.

The uptake of renewable technologies is very slow due to the high costs of equipment and very long payback periods. We investigate ways in which this can be changed and evaluate new emerging domestic power generation solutions and energy saving devices.

We invite contribution to the site on any of these technical issues and would be very interested to learn about any technologies that can more cost effectively collect and distribute renewable energy or new energy saving devices
