Our community owned solar portfolio

We have 30 rooftop solar sites across Plymouth, and our ground-mounted 4MW solar farm in Ernesettle. The annual output of our solar portfolio is 4,139MWh. This means that nearly one fifth of the solar generation capacity of Plymouth is in community ownership, ensuring  the benefits of clean energy stay local.
