Zero North Wiltshire was founded in 2022 as a local renewable energy company. We are a passionate group of individuals dedicated to transforming the way we access and utilise energy across our communities, while playing a vital local role in the fight against climate change.
We believe that the future of energy lies in sustainability, self-reliance, and inclusivity. Our mission is to empower our communities to take control of their energy future amidst the profound shifts that we are seeing in the energy landscape and economy – harnessing the major trends in renewable energy, localising energy projects, and helping to alleviate cost pressures on neighbourhoods and local businesses.

Renewable Energy Projects
We currently have a hopper of live projects, including a rooftop solar scheme at Sheldon School, and a community stake in the planned Forest Gate solar farm. We intend to build out this portfolio across the identified area for ZNW.
We will also be working in partnership, including Bath and West Community Energy (BWCE), one of the UK’s most established community energy groups, and Eden Renewables.

How to get involved?
We intend to carry out launch and information events across our communities over the coming months with the intent of increasing both awareness and membership. In addition we welcome all ideas for new projects – where you have a potential site and/or need for a community energy project.
As we progress our project portfolio, we will be looking to raise investment, with potential for community members to get involved in the ownership of projects – we’ll be welcoming investments of anywhere from £100 – £100,000 in exchange for interest on these investments. We will be announcing upcoming investment share raises over the coming months.
