Community Energy

We have extensive experience of developing and delivering Community Energy schemes and delivering training to support the sector.

We are both directors of our local community renewable organisations, MORE Renewables and Pennine Community Power and newly formed Community Energy North.

We can provide support to existing and new community energy organisations and to landowners or site owners interested in partnering with community energy organisations including:

• Project identification and feasibility studies (technical, financial and organisational feasibility)
• Governance support for the appropriate legal structure for a project, including Community Benefit Societies.
• Financial modelling and support in identifying funding and project finance.
• Project delivery support including project management, mentoring, liaison with stakeholders (including DNO, installers, communities), leases, power purchase agreements and share offer and launch.
• Innovation projects to explore and develop new business models.
