What is community energy?
Our team
Sell your renewable energy
We buy power from over 1/3rd of community energy groups across the UK, no matter the size of the generation. So, if your community owns a large-scale wind turbine or a teeny-tiny trickly hydro, we’ll buy the energy you’ve generated through a bespoke Power Purchase Agreement.
What sets us apart from the rest is that we'll work with the biggest and smallest exporters, buying their energy at a fair market-reflective price, through an agreement created just for you.
Still not 100% about what community energy or what it is? Here's everything you need to know about community energy!
How it works
The renewable power we purchase from community energy groups is ring-fenced into Your Co-op Energy’s Community Powered Tariff—passing energy from one community movement to another. It’s truly co-operative!

When you consider the founding principles of the co-operative movement, our partnership just makes sense. Here are the thoughts of Lizzie Hieron, Younity Board Director.
Our members have told us they want us to help them find ways to adopt socially responsible low carbon lifestyles. One way we can do that is to offer a community power tariff that is completely powered by renewable community generation. The joint venture with Octopus has enabled us to build on our reputation and links with so many of these community energy groups.
