Community energy initiatives for a better planet and lower energy bills.
Alwoodley Community Energy
Alwoodley Community Energy’s mission is to:
- Generate clean, renewable energy right here in our community.
- Boost local energy independence.
- Help lower energy costs.
- Inspire our community to adopt greener, more sustainable habits.
What is Community Energy?
Community energy is all about coming together to create local solutions for a cleaner, more sustainable future. By setting up renewable energy systems, we can generate our own clean power, cut down on pollution and energy poverty and ease the burden of high energy costs. Working together means we find the best energy options for our community, while sharing the benefits locally.

Our goals for 2025 and beyond include:
- Roll-out our community engagement program across 2024/25 to involve as many people, groups and organisations as possible in creating and running a thriving community energy program.
- Working with interested organisations to deliver renewable energy projects that benefit the organisations, our community and the planet.
- Collaborate and work with other established and grass roots groups locally and across the country to support shared learning and progress at a local and national level.
Why is community energy important?
Community energy empowers local residents to take control of their energy systems, promoting renewable energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
By involving our community, we build energy resilience and energy independence and encourage active participation in energy efficiency and demand reduction. Together, we can move towards a more sustainable, net-zero future.
