ADE
ADE is the UK’s largest non-profit trade body for demand and heat networks, representing over 150 organisations. We campaign for a smarter energy system that stops waste, lowers bills and drives growth. We fight for a system where energy users are equal partners to generation.
ADE: Heat Network
ADE: Heat Networks is the UK’s largest non-profit trade body for the heat networks sector, representing members driving the transition to clean, affordable heating. Our goal is to ensure that Britain stops wasting heat from industry, data centres and rivers, and instead builds the infrastructure to capture and reuse it - strengthening our energy security and lowering bills.
ADE: Demand
ADE: Demand is the UK's largest non-profit trade body for demand representing organisations that use, manage and optimise energy demand. We work to ensure consumers play a central role in delivering a cleaner, more flexible and more affordable energy system.
Making every unit of energy count
At ADE, we champion a complete re-imagining of the energy system. We want to wring every ounce of power from renewables and capture the vast amount of untapped heat through heat networks. By prioritising demand and heat networks, we can lower household bills, unlock billions in private investment and safeguard hundreds of thousands of industrial jobs. We are building a modern, affordable and secure energy system.
