Join us & help install more renewable power!

Brighton Energy Coop is about community-owned renewable energy. wWe get a load of people together, everyone puts in a little bit of cash and collectively we are thus able to build large scale renewable energy systems.

Money raised from selling electricity is then distributed into our community fund, paying interest to members and repaying capital. Our host sites benefit from the cheap electricity that our panels provide.

You can help us install more renewable power by joining BEC here.
