Schools Energy Coop – Community owned solar energy on schools

The Co-op That Pays Back

The Schools' Energy Co-operative has two missions: to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to save schools money on their electricity bills. We install solar PV panels on schools free of charge, and pay profits back in the form of dividends. Together, our schools are saving hundreds of thousands of pounds every year.

"In a world that must (urgently) learn to tread more lightly on the planet, how better than to get our children to lead the way? Those of us pretending to be grown-ups just have to make this possible. That is what the Schools' Energy Coop is all about... and what makes it so exciting."
Alan Simpson, parent and Schools Energy Co-op Director
