Transforming ideas into green energy
Ownership of Community Solar Farms
We acquire ownership of solar farms in the Yealm Estuary area with the purpose of generating clean and renewable energy and using financial surpluses for the benefit of the local community.
Innovative Financing with CORE
We work and collaborate with 4 other Community Energy organisations around the country, in the Community Energy Together (CET) partnership to secure affordable finance and mutual support for solar projects.
Clean Energy Generation
Our farms get to work harnessing solar power for clean electricity, reducing carbon emissions, and providing sustainable energy.
Funding Local Initiatives
Through its Community Benefit Fund, the financial surpluses fund a variety of local projects aligned with the Society's goals, including low-carbon, educational, and ecological initiatives.
Community Equity Investment
We have raised £500,000 in community equity to enable the solar farms to be brought into local ownership for the benefit of the community.
Delivering positive change for local communities
Our aims go further than to provide sustainable, clean energy using solar farms. We donate all of our surplus to local good causes. From supporting other green initiatives to improving vital community assets, we’re helping to make lives better for local people.

We launched a community share offer in 2023 to fund the transfer of three nearby operational solar farms into community ownership. The offer is now closed.
