Supporting Community Energy

What is Community Energy

Community Energy refers to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and low-carbon heat projects that are owned, led, or shaped by communities. These initiatives may be wholly independent or delivered in partnership with local councils, commercial partners, or social enterprises.

But it’s more than just energy generation — it’s about creating fairer, more resilient energy system that can support investment directly back into the local community and puts local people at the heart of the energy system.

Ennovus Solutions and the Community Energy Sector

At Ennovus, we’re committed to balancing the needs of planet and people. Supporting community energy is a natural fit for our mission to lead the evolution of organisations to a net zero future. Here’s why we believe in it:

Community Energy champions many of the principles we hold dear — collaboration, sustainability, and long-term impact.

Community Energy generates clean power and community value — from cutting bills for local businesses, to supporting local community services and tackling fuel poverty. By supporting community energy, Ennovus not only supports the roll out of renewable energy but also local communities.

The sector is scaling fast, with more organisations and more projects than ever before – and almost 400 MW of renewable energy projects across the country.

“Community Energy projects prove that climate action can be practical, inclusive, and locally driven. Ennovus supports these initiatives by providing the technical insight and guidance that help communities turn strong ideas into successful outcomes.”

How Can Ennovus Help

Community energy projects are often rich in ambition but face barriers — from complex grid connections and planning constraints to funding gaps and technical guidance

We bring deep technical and strategic experience to support at every stage:

Energy Audits

Our audits provide a ‘shopping’ list of opportunities, across generation, energy efficiency, and thermal decarbonisation. We start with a clear understanding of the site, its current energy use and consumers, infrastructure, and operations. 

Feasibility & Design

Our experienced design team can support quick project scoping, drive technical and commercial decision making and turn community vision into well-defined commercially viable projects.

Planning & Grid Support

Our team is experienced in navigating planning and grid approval for projects from the small to utility scale. Our sister company Connectus Utilities can help to coordinate any network upgrades and deliver savings on contestable elements.

Funding & Commercial Models

Ennovus can provide direct funding to Community Energy projects. With four different funding mechanism available through Ennovus and the Consultus Group, we are well versed in providing a flexible approach to meet an organisations long term ambitions.
