Communities for Renewables C.I.C. is a Cornwall-based Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to empowering local communities across the UK to develop, finance, and manage their own renewable energy generation. Since 2012, we’ve supported over 20 local energy enterprises and facilitated the financing of nearly £30 million in community-owned solar projects, ranging from solar PV installations on community buildings to a significant community solar farm. Our expertise spans the entire project lifecycle, from initial business planning and feasibility assessments to construction, financing, and ongoing asset management. We specialize in developing innovative growth strategies that enable community energy enterprises to reinvest surplus income, fostering local economic development and accelerating the transition to net zero. Recognized for our contributions to the sector, including being named a Natwest SE100 index participant and winning community energy champion awards, Communities for Renewables is a trusted partner for local authorities, social landlords, and community groups seeking to harness the power of renewable energy.
