Local People
Local Team
On hand to support you
Community Energy is based in Corby, so we're on hand to speak to directly or to come out to your business or your home. Our team at Corby Enterprise Centre is also supported by local partners like Utility Bidders and ECS and national experts from Resero Power and the National Energy Foundation.

A smart grid sharing local power

The UK's electricity network is a marvellous thing but it’s under increasing pressure, which means locally generated energy rarely benefits the local community as it could or should. Connecting together through Community Energy will mean we can create a Smart Network to reduce local energy costs and help the grid at the same time.

Renewable energy
Renewable energy
Low carbon renewable energy
Electricity is already being generated across Corby, whether its solar on roof tops, wind farms or within businesses. Community Energy will not only make better use of this local generation but through the Smart Network we will enable and support the installation of more renewable generation than the grid is currently able to make room for.

Benefiting from connecting to the smart network
If your home has solar panels often, during the day when you're at work you will be exporting electricity you don't use to the grid, at a fixed (low) price. Trading that energy in a connected community would earn more for you and allow those in the community without solar to get cheaper energy. The smart bit is Community Energy takes the strain by automating these kinds of Peer-2-Peer arrangements
Schools
Schools
Schools and communities benefiting each other
Schools with solar panels could benefit their budgets by selling weekend energy to the local community for more than the grid would pay but still at a discount for residents or businesses. Schools without panels could buy energy from local homes when it’s not being used, again benefiting schools, residents and businesses. Community Energy takes the strain by automating these arrangements.
Factories
Factories & Businesses
Factories and busineses
Some industrial and commercial business generate some or all of their own energy or have back-up generators - many have neither. Connecting to our smart network means Peer-2-Peer trading benefits you whichever position you're in with either a higher price for electricity you produce and don't use or a lower cost for what you have to buy. The smart bit is Community Energy automates this for you.
Battery
Energy Storage
Energy storage will play a role in providing flexibility in our Smart Network, balancing demand and supply, and enabling a more rapid introduction of intermittent renewable generation. Storage also allows us to shift when energy is used, so consumers and suppliers can take advantage of time based price changes or avoid peak transmision and distribution costs.
Smart
Network
A 21st Century electricity network
Users and generators connected to a smart system gives detailed data to more precisely balance local supply and demand than is currently possible, reducing costs in the system. It also creates the opportunity for local Peer-2- Peer energy trading, and the smart bit is Community Energy takes the strain by automating these arrangements to best meet the needs of everyone involved, including the grid

A smart energy revolution to benefit the community

Joining together as a connected community is the first stage of an energy revolution. Creating a smart network is the last and will ultimately allow us to offer members a cheaper, cleaner, local energy tariff beating normal market tariffs.

Savings at each stage
