Our renewable projects

At York Community Energy, we want to see York’s energy system made greener and cleaner, and one way we aim to achieve that is through the installation of community-owned renewable energy generation.

Powering York on Sunlight

Working with local schools

We are very keen to see clean solar energy powering schools in York. We have joined forces with Solar for Schools, a Community Benefit Society that has extensive experience in installing rooftop PV on schools, having worked with over 60 schools across the UK. You can read more about our work to install solar panels on schools in York on our Solar for Schools project page.

Working with local businesses

It’s not just schools – we would love to hear from any local organisation that would be interested in hosting a community-owned solar array. It’s a great way to cut your carbon footprint and support the community without huge upfront capital costs.
