Carbon Co-op is an energy services co-operative based in the Greater Manchester city region in the UK which was setup in 2006 and constituted in 2011. Originally founded to undertake deep renovation of homes, it has now expanded its efforts into the area of smart energy and flexibility with the aim of becoming a combined aggregator/ESCO. It’s over 400 members and 10 staff work collectively to reduce their carbon emissions and promote carbon reduction measures to their communities across the North West of England.

This pilot will install and test COFY-box based systems and aggregator tools in 50 homes and small businesses in the Greater Manchester region with a focus on providing new control and enabling flexibility from equipment such as immersion water heaters, storage heaters, and electric vehicle chargers.
