From Burnley to B-Corp: How One Energy is winning awards and supporting local families

If you live in Burnley or Pendle and have ever wondered whether energy saving grants are real, now is the time to find out.

One Energy, founded in January 2025 and based right here in Burnley, has proven that government-backed grants can be life-changing — helping families cut energy bills while upgrading their homes at no cost to them.

Award-winning start

In under a year, One Energy has already made incredible progress, both locally and nationally. The business was crowned Northwest Green Startup of the Year at the UK Startup Awards, was recognised on the national stage at the Green Startup Awards, and became a finalist in the BIBA Awards Carbon Reduction category.

These achievements reflect the company’s commitment to bringing fresh, transparent solutions to the energy saving sector.

“Building trust has always been central to our mission,” say One Energy. “That’s why we’re proud to have secured B-Corp Pending status — an internationally recognised standard for companies that meet the highest levels of social and environmental responsibility.”

B-Corp - more than a badge

For local households and consumers, this means you can be confident that One Energy operates with transparency, fairness, and a genuine drive to make a positive impact. B-Corp isn’t just a badge — it’s a promise that every decision the company makes considers people, planet, and community, not just profit.

This journey has also attracted investment. River Capital, through the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II, has invested in One Energy, giving it the resources to scale up its services across the UK while keeping its base and our heart here in East Lancashire.

Alongside this, One Energy has built a trusted network of 22 fully vetted and accredited delivery partners, covering all corners of the UK to ensure that every installation is carried out by credible, qualified professionals.

Part of the local community

That commitment to community shines through in local partnerships and events. One Energy recently partnered with Burnley FC in the Community, bringing awareness of free grants and support to thousands of local households. In August, the team hosted a Free Energy Saving Advice drop-in event at Down Town Burnley Café & Kitchen, offering clear, jargon-free advice directly to residents. The company also proudly supports the Padiham Litter Pickers, sponsoring and funding their community newsletter — a sign of One Energy’s dedication to grassroots initiatives that make the area a better place to live.

“At the core of what we do is simple: helping people save money and energy. One Energy provides clear, impartial advice on the best ways to cut bills and keep homes warm,” they said. “We specialise in connecting households to 100% free government-backed grants that cover the cost of insulation, heating upgrades, solar panels, and more. Too many families still think these grants are “too good to be true” — but the reality is they exist, they’re accessible, and we’ve already helped households across Burnley and Pendle benefit. If you’re struggling with high energy costs, don’t assume you won’t qualify — let us check for you.”

Looking ahead, One Energy is determined to keep supporting Burnley and Pendle while becoming a national leader in energy saving. But no matter how far it grows, it remains committed to serving the community that gave it its start. If you live locally and want impartial advice you can trust, now is the time to speak to One Energy — your warmer, more efficient home could be only a phone call away.
