As well as reducing carbon emissions, our work has provided significant community benefit, particularly in relation to funding projects that help to tackle fuel poverty in the local community. This is a time of major change in the energy sector and a great opportunity for community energy to play a key role in South East London as we look to expand both our project portfolio.

  • Managing the contract and relationship with SE24’s existing solar Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contractor including future market testing.
