A Scottish couple after being fed up with the Big Six energy firms attitude to customers that they want customers across Britain to “Crowd-fund” and help start a new, transparent people’s energy company.

David Pike and Karin Sode of Gullane, East Lothian, have raised £18,000 from an initial crowd-funding drive, but are seeking £450, 000 to get the company up and running by this spring.
