Utility OVO Energy has partnered with a community-owned wind project in Bristol to highlight the potential of community-driven solar energy projects.

The Beacon Fen Energy Park, proposed by renewable energy company Low Carbon, has opened its plans for consultation from local stakeholders and communities.

Thrive Renewables has announced the opening of its biggest BESS to date in the form of a 30MWh facility located on Feeder Road, Bristol.

National Grid has helped install the first solar panels at a Gloucestershire school as part of its solar PV fund to promote decarbonisation in local communities.

Solar could benefit from a new arrangement which has seen OVO Energy join Community Energy England as a principal supporter.

The village of Sheriffhales, Shropshire has completed the acquisition of a 3.2MW solar farm to bring the array into 100% community-ownership.

A total of almost 190kW of rooftop solar is currently being installed across six sites in Neath Port Talbot.

£100,000 has been raised by community-owned solar projects from surplus generation, which will now be given to Corona Crisis Funds.

Community Owned Renewable Energy LLP (CORE) has invested £12 million in three UK solar farms.

A new community-owned renewable energy asset manager has been launched to serve communities and commercial clients across the UK, acquiring Mongoose Energy’s asset management business in the process.
