We are one of the pioneers of the UK’s community energy sector – we have been advising and supporting communities to transition to a low-carbon and sustainable future since 2013.

Community energy is about people working together to generate electricity locally using renewable technologies that both reduce carbon emissions and save money.

We have evolved from a hub in the south-east and we now work across the country under our new name: Community Energy Pathways.

We are located in Lewes and host the Lewes Climate and Energy Hub. The hub has dedicated spaces opent o the public to talk about energy and cliamte which we’ve developed with Lewes District Council.

Our vision

We want every district, borough or unitary authority in the UK to benefit from a community energy group that can provide independent, professional advice to households on how to reduce their energy costs and go green. It’s about harnessing renewable electricity generation and storage, and ramping up the efficiency of homes, including by retrofitting them with the latest innovations and technologies.

Our mission

Our mission is to develop a thriving community energy sector and ensure that local authorities meet their Net Zero ambitions, in line with their energy and climate change strategies.
