We have been supporting our local communities since 2015, when we first launched Wolverton Community Energy. We put community and social benefit at the heart of everything we do, and this work is now city-wide across the whole of Milton Keynes.

Our work covers both community-owned renewable generation as well as programmes to help reduce Milton Keynes (MK) energy use, while cutting costs and carbon emissions in the process. Our initiatives also generate the social energy that brings people together and help create opportunities for MK communities to flourish.

Community-owned solar generation

We work with a wide range of individuals, businesses and voluntary and community organisations to explore opportunities to generate renewable energy and to use the resources to support local communities.

  • Generating over 2.6 million kWp of community solar energy, equating to a reduction of more than 975 tonnes of carbon emissions.
  • Delivering community projects and great energy prices for our partner organisations.
  • Investing profits back into local community.
