community energy

Mongoose Energy has launched its own crowdfunding platform – dubbed Mongoose Crowd – to cater for a growing number of investors eyeing community renewables opportunities.

M&S Energy is to offer up to £300,000 in support of community renewables projects across the UK in its third successive Community Energy Fund.

Independent utility Co-op Energy is looking to boost its portfolio of community energy generators by as much as one-third over the next three years.

Communities for Renewables (CfR) CIC has purchased what is claimed to be the UK’s largest community solar farm from developer Gamma Energy.

Solar has proven to be a particularly popular technology among the 26 winners of this year’s M&S Energy Community Energy Fund, which will share a pot of £350,000.

Shadow energy secretary Barry Gardiner has pledged to stimulate and support the UK’s decentralised energy sector during a major speech on the energy market this morning.

Mongoose Energy has recruited Climate Group chief executive Mark Kenber to lead its fledgling energy supply business.
