Northumberland Community Energy

Developed through co-designing a co-operative model, the aim is to:

Reduce energy costs and the carbon footprint of community buildings in Northumberland.
Support resilience in response to long term climate change and extreme weather events.
Generate additional revenue for community groups.
Limit risk, reduce administration burden and maximise efficiencies of scale.

The project began in 2022 and in Sept 2023, the Co-op was formed as a Community Benefit Society – Northumberland Community Energy Ltd (NCEL)
