Power to the People: The History of Community Energy
Community energy is more important than ever. It’s a grassroots movement powered by people like you, bringing clean, local energy to communities across the UK. Want to know how it all started & why it matters?
The Westmill solar park started to generate electricity in July 2011. Westmill’s members came together to make a practical contribution to decarbonisation – and pioneered what was, at the time, the world’s largest community-owned solar park.
In 1844, faced with expensive and often adulterated foodstuffs, the Rochdale Pioneers came together to open a single shop selling good quality food. Within three months this group had become known for selling high quality foodstuffs, and a co-operative movement began to rapidly grow. Those pioneers designed a series of principles which still govern the cooperative movement today.
The Co-op and Octopus Energy have today announced the launch of a new community energy firm.
