Use Our Kickstart Loan to Boost Your Community Energy Project
Are you a community energy organisation in England, Scotland or Wales searching for a loan to help with the construction phase of your community energy project?
With £1.5m of funds available, this bridging loan exists for projects that are building renewable generation that benefits the community.
How does the loan work?
Our parent companies, Octopus Energy and Our Co-op, have teamed up to help community energy groups with their funding needs.
To find out more and see if it's right for your project simply fill out the form below and we’ll arrange a chat.
Community energy projects play an important role in bringing more cheap, green energy closer to communities who’ll benefit!
Launching this Kickstart fund is hugely exciting as it’ll unleash the sector’s potential, tap into growing demand for home-grown green power, and lower bills.

Our kickstart loan was used by Bristol Energy Co-operative, who transformed Bottle Yard Studios 2 (TBY2) into the largest rooftop solar array in the UK.
