What do we mean by community energy?

Community energy is when people combine resources to support local energy projects in the places where they live and work.

This could be a solar panel array on a local school, a neighbourhood energy efficiency scheme, or a fuel poverty alleviation campaign to help those who struggle with energy costs.

Community energy projects are designed by, owned by, and operated on behalf of the communities they serve, 

BHESCo are one of nearly 600 community energy organisations in the UK, working tirelessly to decarbonise their communities and make energy bills affordable for all.

Community energy has been recognised by the UK Government as a key solution in achieving net zero targets, helping homes and businesses transition towards local renewable heat and power.
