Support local energy projects
We raise money to develop renewable energy projects in and around Preston through community share offers.
Investors become members of the Community Benefit Society, with each member having one vote regardless of the number of shares held. This ensures the organisation remains community-led and not controlled by large investors.
What your support does:
- Funds new local renewable energy generation
- Helps reduce energy costs for community buildings and protects against rising prices, while reducing dependence on large energy companies
- Keeps income and benefits within the local area
Investment - When investment opportunities are available, full details will be provided so you can make an informed decision.
We aim to offer a fair, long-term return alongside clear community benefit.
