Robin Hood Energy

Robin Hood Energy

Launched by Nottingham City Council in 2015, Robin Hood Energy is a not-for-profit energy supplier that supplies gas and electricity to more than 130,000 customers.

While the company’s brand name is a reference to its home city of Nottingham, it also speaks to Robin Hood Energy’s socially conscious mission to address fuel poverty by giving low-cost energy to households throughout the UK.

With that in mind, Robin Hood Energy isn’t limited to serving domestic energy customers in Nottingham – in fact, households throughout England, Scotland and Wales can switch to this energy supplier.

However, it does maintain special tariffs for customers within the Nottingham City Council area, which are designed to incentivise local residents to choose their city’s own energy supplier.
