Community benefit fund
In 2017 after the first 3 years of generation we made our first Community Benefit Fund payment. As of 2024 we have raised over £20,000 for community benefit schemes, the majority in Sheffield funding actions to alleviate fuel poverty through South Yorkshire Energy Centre, and approximately 10% going to overseas projects.
