RAM Energy

RAM Energy

With estimates suggesting that one-in-six households in the Derby area are currently living in fuel poverty, RAM Energy was launched by Derby City Council in 2017 with a mission to tackle fuel poverty by supplying low-cost energy to households in Derby and the Midlands.

As part of this mission RAM Energy is run as a not-for-profit energy supplier, which means it can offer lower tariffs instead of paying dividends or director bonuses.

Derby City Council has partnered with Robin Hood Energy to create this new energy brand, which serves as RAM’s licensed supply partner.
