Community Renewable Energy Installations

Growing the Market for Renewable Energy

Our policies encourage our visitors to use hostels and their local communities in a sustainable manner. We would like to thank CEN and their partners for enabling us to become the first renewably-powered YHA in London.

David Meagher, Manager of Rotherhithe YHA

With recent advances in renewable energy technology and a range of government and other grants available, renewable energy is now accessible by all communities.

CEN understands the challenges faced by community groups when launching renewable energy projects and has developed the partnerships, systems and services to overcome them. Working closely with CEN, communities are guided through the project phases, step by step.

 

Community Renewable Energy Services

Advisory and Consultation Services

Prior to the launch of any project, it is essential that all stakeholder concerns are addressed and that the project implications are fully explained. CEN provides:

  • energy audits and pre-investment feasibility work
  • advice, information, and presentations to the community, and to project stakeholders
Installation Management

CEN has the expertise to coordinate installation activities:

  • ensuring installation within specified timescales and with minimum hassle and expense.
  • assisting with grant and planning applications
  • providing access to high quality and discounted equipment and a trusted network of installers
Publicity and Dissemination

 

CEN is committed to maximising the publicity opportunities of a community installation and works closely with community groups to use the installation to increase awareness of sustainable energy, and to raise the profile of the community itself.
