PEC In Action

We provide vital support for thousands of households in Plymouth living in fuel poverty, build locally-owned renewable energy, and improving the energy efficiency of homes across the city.

We're showing that a cleaner, fairer energy future is possible now.

Explore how we make an impact across all these areas.

Plymouth Energy Community GROW Ready for winter event Web 1

Our family of organisations purposely uses a cooperative, member-led structure to allow community representatives to take leadership on local solutions to the climate emergency and the energy transition.

But this doesn't happen on it's own - we know that for people to get involved we need to inspire and make connections across the city. Our engagement work raises the profile of local energy solutions.

By giving local people ownership in positive solutions (like renewable energy generation and zero carbon, affordable homes) then we can make change happen locally.
