The Riverside solar project
Keynsham Community Energy are pleased to be behind Keynsham's first community energy project with a 92KW solar array to be installed on the Riverside development in 2020.
The energy produced by the panels will be bought and used locally, rather than being sold back to the grid. This way, we keep the energy and the money generated by the project in our local community.
Local energy
Keynsham Community Energy is run by local people for local people, and we're keen to grow our membership. We're looking for people who share our aims, values and principles, and want to help us shape Keynsham's energy future for the better.
As a Community Benefit Society, Keynsham Community Energy is run by members of the community for the benefit of the community as a whole.
Community ownership
Our mission is to help Keynsham develop a clean energy future, mitigate climate change by installing renewable energy generation, and to do this in a fair and democratic way by spreading the ownership and benefits across the community rather than concentrating them in the hands of the few. That's why, as a Community Benefit Society, we are offering shares to local people in our project.
Our share offer will be open very soon. If you want to support your local community, help mitigate climate change and help build a stronger and more resilient town, please fill out the form below to find out more.
How to get involved
- You can invest in our regulated, energy generation programmes and receive good potential return on your investment (typically 3% - 7%)
- You can join our steering group that meets three times a year
- You can become a Director of Keynsham Community Energy
- You can become a partner of Keynsham Community Energy. We are interested in working with local businesses with land or roof space to develop more community-owned renewable energy projects in return for a reduction in the cost of your energy.
