The management platform for local energy generators


Company and Asset management simplified.


Local Energy Collective is a company and asset management platform for local energy generators.

The platform has been developed for community energy enterprises, local authorities, farmers and independent generators. It provides real-time analytics to help you monitor the performance of your assets and tools to help you manage your enterprise and communicate with your team and stakeholders. It's also a community of local energy generators sharing ideas on solving problems and growing their enterprises.

Local Energy Collective is managed by Communities for Renewables CIC (CfR), a community interest company which helps set up local energy enterprises and works with them to develop, finance and manage their own renewable energy generation. CfR has helped to develop and finance over £40million of locally-owned solar PV in 10 localities ranging from school roofs to one of the largest community solar farms in the UK.

The platform brings together bespoke software and commonly used apps to help you manage your local energy enterprise more efficiently, from anywhere. Where is your local?
