As a group of volunteers, we are working hard towards becoming a financially sustainable community enterprise, which operates on a not-for-profit ‘Community Energy’ model.
Our mission is to empower people to take control of their energy future, by investing in local wind and solar generation.
We will achieve this by providing local people with the opportunity to purchase low-cost, clean energy direct from local energy projects, owned and shaped by their communities.
As part of our commitment to our local community we plan to reinvest our profits into local climate change and environmental projects, through a Community Benefit Fund.
These projects can include expanding renewable energy infrastructure, supporting energy-efficiency initiatives and funding climate resilience programmes.
We work with communities, local businesses, environmental groups, and local authorities across the Zero North Wiltshire area – see our coverage in the map to the right.
Our work covers the identification and execution of renewable energy projects as well as the reinvestment of our profits into community initiatives across this same area.

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 Zero North Wiltshire.
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.
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.
