Introducing PowerShare
PowerShare, allows people to directly invest in local renewable energy generation, and receive a financial return via their energy bills.
- Take real personal action on the climate emergency
- Invest as little as £5 per month
- Returns delivered as credit against home energy spend
- Empowers next generation of climate leaders
People across the UK are being called on to join the green community energy revolution and help tackle the climate crisis through a first-of-its-kind initiative from Your Co-op Energy.
PowerShare, allows people to directly invest in local renewable energy generation, and receive a financial return via their energy bills.
There is no time to waste.
PowerShare, delivered with Your Co-op Energy’s community energy partner Younity, gives everyone the opportunity to take real personal action on the climate emergency through a simple and accessible investment. By investing as little as £5 per month, those who join the Co-op Energy Community Power Tariff will be developing new renewable power.
Just as importantly, PowerShare members will also be helping their local communities to flourish as their investment will go directly into a community benefit fund which is run by a local community energy group. This ensures that the benefits of renewable power stay in local communities rather than going to the big energy monopolies and their shareholders.
The pilot scheme for PowerShare will generate electricity from solar panels installed on the roof space of a Your Co-op Food store in Bourton-on-the-Water in Oxfordshire. Your Co-op Food and Your Co-op Energy are part of The Midcounties Co-operative, one of the UK’s largest consumer co-operatives. An independent Bourton-based community energy group will own and operate the renewable energy installations.
