How We Support Community Energy Groups

Buying Your Renewable Energy

We want to purchase as much community energy as we can from community-owned projects from all across the UK. We're already doing a great job, buying from over 300 projects and supporting more than a third of the sector!

Don't just take our word for it though, have a read through some of the fantastic groups we already work with and see what they have to say about it

Hear what our partners have to say

We've also teamed up with Your Co-op Energy to bring you the Community Power Tariff—the first energy tariff fully backed by community energy. It’s an easy way to back local renewable projects, just by switching your supply.

At Younity, we understand that securing funding can be competitive, difficult, and frustrating. That's why we're cutting through the hassle. We offer no-nonsense, easy-to-apply grant and bridging loan funding, all with the goal of supporting as many community energy groups as possible!

Sounds good, right? That’s what the 21 groups we've supported with over £65,000 in grant funding would say too!

Did you know there are over 600 groups in the UK, with 80% of them being volunteer-led? Volunteers are the backbone of our sector, and we’re here to help you find the best of the best.

 

We've built our services to try and combat every barrier that community energy groups may face - whether that's funding, capacity or expertise. We want to work with every group across the UK, supporting them with whatever they need to succeed.
