Renewable Energy projects with and for the community.
Northern Ireland Community Energy was Northern Ireland’s first community-owned renewable energy benefit society.
Since 2014, we’ve worked with groups across NI to raise capital from shareholders in the community, to install solar panels on community buildings. We are able to reduce the energy bills for our client organisations and will continue to help them further reduce their energy use and carbon footprint.

Our Shareholders
Environmentally minded folks who want to invest in communities, renewable energy and climate action in Northern Ireland
Our original investors have now been (almost) repaid with interest, but we ask them to stay involved with us to influence how we spend the Community Fund they made possible, and to steer our future strategy
