The Community Energy Generators Making a Difference

Ever thought we should be doing more in schools to teach kids about renewable energy, decarbonisation & taking care of our planet?

Well, that’s exactly what Solar for Schools thought too. Since 2015, they’ve been on a mission to give the next generation the skills they’ll need to take on the climate crisis.

Graig Fatha wind farm is co-owned by over 900 climate-conscious members who, in just three years, have saved a massive £1.2 million on their energy bills.

By supporting community groups and delivering gardens and solar projects in London, Energy Garden is taking action against the environmental crisis. With each £1 invested into Energy Garden, it brings a social return worth £11.35.

Being responsible for the equivalent of 33% of Bristol's solar generation, Bristol Energy Cooperative aims to develop renewable energy and energy efficiency projects for the benefit of the local community.

By installing solar panels on community buildings, and developing suitable sites for wind and hydro schemes, Gloucester Community Energy Co-operative (GCEC) aims to give everyone in Gloucestershire a chance to benefit from low-carbon, locally generated electricity.

The Low Carbon Hub develops community-owned renewable energy installations across Oxfordshire that not only produce clean energy but accelerates the transition to a zero-carbon energy system.
