The bright yellow Big Lemon buses are a familiar sight around Brighton and Hove. This project initiated a fleet of 10 electric buses operating around town, all charged overnight at the bus depot. Brighton Energy Coop oversaw the crowd-funding and ultimately winning bid to the Marks and Spencer’s Community Energy Fund, as well as the installation of solar panels on the Big Lemon Depot’s roof.
