What We Do

We are a not for profit community business, committed to putting people at the heart of the energy transition. Our renewable energy projects place ownership and control of energy in the hands of local people and actively benefit local communities. We are part of a UK community energy movement of over 400 organisations.

Bringing Community Benefit

We’re set up as a Community Benefit Society, meaning that all our surplus profits are reinvested in projects for local good. Our independent BWCE Fund provides grants for community projects seeking to reduce carbon emissions and combat fuel poverty. We also work with other organisations to support local community action on climate change.

You can become a Member by investing and/or get actively involved through our Supporters Network. We are also looking for local organisations to partner with us to develop new projects.
