Local Authorities
Cut emissions, boost local businesses, and power your community’s future.
We’re partnering with local authorities to create sustainable energy solutions that support both the environment and local economic growth.
Fully-Funded Solar Panels on Commercial and Public Sector Buildings
Access clean, affordable power with no upfront costs. We install rooftop solar panels on your buildings, providing low-cost renewable energy to building occupants.
Support Local Businesses
By keeping energy generation and economic activity local, we ensure the benefits stay within your community. This includes supporting renewables companies, farmers, and local enterprises.
£2 per Megawatt of Power Traded Donated to Local Community Groups
For every megawatt of energy traded, £2 is donated to local community groups, helping tackle social issues like deprivation and fuel poverty.
Small and Medium Enterprises
We do all surveys and secure all required permissions, free of charge. If viable, we can fully fund the installation, and we take care of all lifetime costs, including operation, maintenance, billing and administration.
The power is sold to your building occupants, and any excess is traded within the Local Energy Community.
Fully funded installation solar if suitable roof
Receive an income for every megawatt of power sold from the roof to the tenants
A proportion of every megawatt traded goes to local charities
Local Authorities
Councils have a mandate to reduce emissions in your areas, whilst supporting economic growth and your local communities. We provide a method to achieve all three, with no public sector capital required.
We’re working with several local authorities, Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and other local representative groups.
Support businesses keeping the economic activity local where possible
Save money by trading excess power from local P2P participants
Clean power is provided from nearby "out-of-town" renewable generators
How it works?
-
Clean Power from Nearby Generators
Energy is sourced from local renewable generators, including solar, wind, and farm-based anaerobic digestion plants.
-
Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading
Excess power generated on one roof is traded with others in the community via our energy trading platform. This reduces energy costs for all participants.
-
Community Ownership of Assets
Any generation assets, such as rooftop solar, are offered to local people through crowdfunding, ensuring financial benefits remain within the community.
