Who We Are & What We Do
Our story started in 2019 when Octopus Energy and The Midcounties Co-operative acted on a shared vision to take the support for community-owned renewable energy generation to the next level.
Merging innovation with co-operation - the perfect combination!
Identifying Challenges to Deliver the Best Solutions
By listening to the groups we work with, we tackle the biggest challenges they face every day—unlocking the best solutions. We’re here to energise community energy, delivering our award-winning support across the sector.
-
Providing bespoke Power Purchase Agreement prices, updated daily to reflect real-time market changes.
-
Finding motivated and skilled volunteers through our free, custom-built platform, Community Energy Connect, ready to help elevate projects to the next level.
-
Taking the fuss out of funding with easily accessible, affordable loans and grants to boost projects.
We’ve long been the leading supporter of community energy in the UK, and with the launch of Younity we've taken that support to the next level.
We've bought together the technological capability and agility that Octopus Energy provides with the co-operative values and community generation experience of The Midcounties Co-operative.
Younity is perfectly placed to grow the sector.

By funding and using local renewable power from the community, for the community, when the sun shines, the wind blows and rivers run, we can take the pressure off the national grid and save the world from using even more fossil fuels.
