We're delighted for our CEO, Helen Martin, to have been quoted in The Times's segment on Labour's net zero plans. 👏 Read her quote championing community energy and encouraging faster government action so local organisations can achieve their goals.

A bittersweet evening last night with team members past and present ❤️ We gathered at the site of our very first solar project - The Canteen - to raise a glass to the incomparable Andy O'Brien, as he takes a (slight) step back from the day to day runnings of the cooperative that he played a huge part in building from the ground up. Andy, for everything you have given and continue to give to Bristol Energy Coop, we salute you! 🖖

Did you know that the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels makes us more vulnerable to geo-political tensions? Oil and gas markets become increasingly volatile when there’s tension and conflict between states, which can worsen the cost-of-living crisis at an already difficult time. Investing in community energy allows us to increase the amount of green energy we create locally, so we’re less reliant on the global energy market, and have more control over our energy future.
