By joining BEC you’ll be supporting a community-owned initiative having an impact on climate change.
We rent roofspace, install solar panels and sell our hosts solar electricity at a discounted rate to grid electricity.
We run workshops and assemblies to teach kids and staff about energy – and saving carbon.
Solarcoaster – the History of Brighton Energy Co-op book is out now!
In memory of BEC member Stephen Biggs who died early this year, we have written a 15-year history of Brighton Energy Co-op. Stephen – who earned his Economics PhD at UC Berkeley – was always keen for us to write this, and it tells the story of how BEC began, the journey we have taken, and our contribution to the UK’s community energy movement.
