CORE (Community-Owned Renewable Energy) is a bold and innovative initiative dedicated to empowering communities through sustainable energy solutions. We believe that renewable energy isn't just about tackling climate change‚ it's about putting power back into the hands of local people, creating opportunities, and building stronger, more resilient neighbourhoods.

What we offer

Feasibility Studies

CORE conducts in-depth feasibility assessments for renewable energy projects, helping communities determine which technologies (e.g., solar, wind, heat pumps) are viable and how to implement them effectively.

Community Engagement & Co-design Workshops

Facilitated workshops that involve residents, local groups, and stakeholders in the design and decision-making process — ensuring projects reflect community needs and values.

Community Shares & Ownership Models

CORE supports local investment opportunities, allowing residents to buy community shares and co-own renewable energy assets (such as solar farms).

Renewable Energy Employment

Technical design and delivery of renewable systems (solar PV, wind turbines, heat pumps, etc.) on community buildings or land, aiming to reduce bills and generate long-term community income.

Reports/Research & Policy Work

CORE publishes research and guidance on community energy governance, financing, and sustainability best practices — such as the Worldwide Community-Owned Renewable Energy report.
