Welcome to Stour Power Community Energy

Who we are

Stour Power Community Energy is a not-for-profit, volunteer-led community benefit society based in the valley of the River Stour in Suffolk and Essex

Amazing turnout at the Stour Power Community Energy launch event
Great discussions took place at our Launch event in January 2026.

What we do

We develop community-owned renewable energy projects—like solar PV, heat networks, and pumped hydro—to cut carbon emissions and deliver local social and economic benefits.

We raise funds through grants, community events, share offers, and ethical finance. Any surplus is reinvested into future projects or used for wider community benefit.

Who we work with?

We work with schools, community groups, and local businesses to install clean energy systems, prioritising community-owned assets and ensuring any private partnerships deliver clear public value. We also raise awareness, promote sustainability education, and empower local people to take part in the energy transition.
