About Us

We are the leading trade association for decentralised energy, representing more than 130 interested parties from across the industrial, commercial and public sectors. The ADE is bringing energy together to advocate on the priorities for the UK in achieving net zero. We are driving the decarbonisation of heat, championing the role of industry in the green transition and pushing for UK homes, places of work and public services to be energy efficient and smart. Only by getting users engaged and investing in energy efficiency, low carbon heat and providing smart flexibility will be the UK truly be able to decarbonise its energy system. For this to happen, energy must work for the user. At the ADE, we believe that an energy system designed around the user’s needs, enabling the right technology choice in the right place, serves everyone better.
