Charity Energy Brokerage
Before talking about Charity Plus Power, we may clarify a few things starting by:
What is an Energy Broker?
Energy brokers or energy consultants are the connection between energy producers and energy users, to lower the cost of energy for its users. We do this by arranging service contracts between home residents and local utility providers or in a residential setting with a similar contract and complete operations on a much larger scale often advising on different energy sources or providers to lower the costs.
