Getting ready for our next phase...
In 2024/5 we raised £700,000 to install more solar panels in Scunthorpe and the surrounding area. Local people can still join our co-op - contact us to ask about joining. We are planning our next share offer (the fundraising period when we are open to wider membership) and you can register your interest to be notified when this goes live.

Are you a community building, or school, in North Lincolnshire struggling with high energy costs? We fit community-owned solar panels to lower your energy costs, without an installation fee. Get in touch with us for more details and to see if you are eligible.
Bringing people together to create an affordable, zero-carbon energy system
North Lincolnshire Community Energy (NLCE) is an award-winning social enterprise launched in 2023 which puts the local community at the heart of the drive to increase the amount of clean renewable energy generated in our region. We bring local people and organisations together so they can make a real contribution to tackling climate change.
Our directors include local people. Although independent of the North Lincolnshire Council we work closely with the Council and we have already installed solar panels on 22 buildings including 15 schools and colleges, The Bath Halls and Scunthorpe United Football Club.
We have successfully raised money through community shares twice (2023 and 2024/5), with more than £1 million raised to install solar on community buildings. Register your interest to become a member next time we open community shares - members earn interest around 5% on their investment.
We are an active community group and we regularly host events in the local area - you can visit our Eventbrite page or see our social media links below to stay updated.
