Become a Project Partner

Power Your Organisation with Local, Renewable Energy

If your organisation has a large roof space, you could be generating clean, locally owned energy, with no upfront capital investment. Community Energy Preston works with businesses, schools and public sector organisations to deliver solar energy projects that reduce costs, cut carbon and create long-term community impact.

Why Partner with Us?

Environmental Impact

Reduce your carbon footprint and contribute directly to Preston’s transition to net zero. Solar installations generate clean, renewable electricity on-site, helping you meet sustainability and ESG targets in a measurable, visible way.

Social Value

Our projects are community-owned. That means the benefits stay local, with surplus income reinvested into initiatives that tackle fuel poverty, improve energy efficiency and support community projects across Preston.

Economic Benefits

  • No upfront capital required
  • Lower, more stable energy costs
  • Long-term price certainty through a Power Purchase Agreement
  • Support for local supply chains and businesses

A Proven, Growing Model

Community energy is already delivering significant impact across the UK:

  • 411 MW of community-owned renewable capacity
  • 212,000+ members supporting local energy projects
  • £68.5 million annual turnover across the sector
  • £24.5 million contributed to local economies
  • £1.86 million in energy bill savings

These figures demonstrate a mature, scalable model that combines financial sustainability with environmental and social impact.
