We believe that the best way to realise renewable energy potential is to develop a fair and equitable relationship between the landowner, the developer and the local community. We have developed a pioneering and award winning community energy model called Resilient Energy and work in a number of partnerships. Additionally we provide consultancy services to businesses looking to future proof their energy requirements and costs through audits, projects and commercial installations. Services provided include:

• Resource Evaluation for community scale energy projects (Wind, Solar, Hydro, Biomass, BioGas)
• Feasibility studies based around option analysis, community acceptance, planning constraints, financial viability, technical and physical constraints
• Project design and management
• Stakeholder and community engagement
• Project Planning & Permitting
• Financial modelling, Investor models and securing funding
• Grid Connections and PPAs
• Construction and Commissioning
• Operational Management

We are currently investigating smart grid infrastructure and energy storage potential. We are members of a number of renewable and community energy organisations.

The factors that define a ‘community’ are also diverse and include geography, identity or interest. The benefits of community energy are influenced not only by who is involved, but also by how they are involved and where benefits accrue.

However all Community Energy projects generally have the following aims:

• To reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy generation and use
• To re-connect people with how energy is generated and consumed
• To improve energy security
• To generate employment opportunities
• To support the local economy

Additionally we support communities through our operational Resilient Energy project Community Funds; through providing opportunities for crowd funding investment; and through using local suppliers where possible to maximise local economic benefits. . We are actively engaged with educational and research establishments and are creating skilled local jobs. We are members of a number of community organisations.
