Plymouth Energy Community (PEC) Plymouth Energy Community (PEC)

Plymouth Energy Community (PEC) is an independent charity founded in 2013 that aims at creating a fair, affordable, and zero-carbon energy system. It covers a wide range of energy-related activities, including providing support and energy advice in the home, in the office and at events, insulation grant programs and training programs, as well as the realization of locally owned renewable energy installations. Through its subsidiary PEC Renewables, PEC has already implemented 33 community-owned solar installations, accounting for 20% of Plymouth’s renewable power infrastructure. The latest planned project is a large solar farm, being developed in partnership with Plymouth City Council, which is expected to supply nearly 4,000 homes with 13 MW. Another sister company, PEC Homes, is dedicated to building community-owned, net-zero affordable housing developments in Plymouth.
