This is exactly how we started at Westmill - with one farmer and a big idea! Now we are generating enough electricity for over 4,000 homes a year. And we still have sheep on site - sheltering from the weather under our solar panels and keeping the grass in check! 💚🌞🍃👨‍🌾

🧑‍🌾 Across Europe, farmers are working with their neighbours to set up energy communities.

🌾These projects carry many benefits for rural communities: strengthening local ties, diversifying the economy, & reducing costs.

Amazing to see a solid commitment from the Government to grow the co-operative sector in the Budget, with the launch of a consultation on the support needed to sustain and grow the movement even further. The consultation closes on 18th February: tinyurl.com/mwwun2vu

Community-owned energy could lower bills and boost UK support for net zero The government should reform Great British Energy to ensure local energy businesses can scale, report says The UK government should increase its support for community-owned energy projects to increase...

Community-owned energy could be a game changer for the UK 🔋🚀

A new report says boosting support for local, community-led energy projects would not only cut bills but also strengthen public backing for net zero 💰

The weather outside may be frightful, but our wonderful wind and solar farms are still generating! 💚🍂🌝💨

We really enjoyed reading through the Co-operative and Mutual Economy Report 2025 from @cooperativesuk.bsky.social . It's exciting to see our sector growing, but investment and support are crucial for the Government to double the sector. www.uk.coop/sites/defaul...
