Community renewable energy is an exciting journey that lots of communities are taking. 

'Communities for Renewables' is a not for profit community interest company. We have set up in response to local demand to help communities to attract social and commercial investment for renewable energy projects which they wish to pursue as part of their local community energy plan. We aim to ensure the community is able to capture as much of the income generated by these projects as possible for local benefit. We can help your community in various ways, by:

Being a development partner to work directly with communities under a social-enterprise business model to build community renewable energy projects and ensure as much of the benefit is captured locally by the community as possible.

Providing support and signposting to partners and other useful people who can help communities to think about their renewable energy projects as part of a holistic and well supported plan of action for their community on energy and carbon.

Providing useful information, guides and tools through this website to empower communities to help themselves.
