What do we do?

Energy4All is based in Barrow-In-Furness in North West England and was created by Baywind Co-operative to develop other community owned renewable energy projects across the UK.

We have a two-fold mission: to support the UK’s transition to a low carbon energy systems; and to do this in a way that offers an opportunity for ordinary people to make a tangible contribution to tackling climate change.

We work with communities that want to develop co-operatively, genuinely community owned renewable energy.  We help those communities develop a successful business case, and support projects through planning applications. Energy4All then helps the communities raise funds through public share and bond offers, brings the technical expertise to build projects to time and budget and then manages their continued operation.

Once built and operational those new co-operatives become share holder members of Energy4All and support the development of more community energy projects through their membership, just as those that went before them.

Energy4All co-ops cover a range of technologies from wind and solar (ground-mount and roof-mount) to community heat and hydro schemes. As well as setting up new schemes, we also work with co-ops who have formed independently and joined us later in their journey for an array of reasons.

If you have a project in mind that you want to discuss with us, have a look through the 'Work With Us' menu to learn a little more about our process and then get in touch.
