People Powered Retrofit is a not-for-profit organisation from the UK that guides and supports households from the beginning to the end of a sustainable home renovation. The service supports and simplifies the decision-making by guiding households through the different stages and options that are available. In the end, it is the household that has a contract with contractors and Carbon Co-op provides a retrofit coordinator to help manage the renovation. This approach is supported by the UK government.

This business model analysis offers an overview of the story of the cooperative, its main activities, its value proposition, revenue streams, barriers, key partners and a SWOT analysis. This can help energy communities involved in citizen-led renovation activities develop their own business models.

A PESTLE analysis of the environment for citizen-led renovation services in the United Kingdom is available.

Business model analyses of two other cooperatives are available: Energy Communities Tipperary Cooperative and Klimaatpunt/Pajo Power.
