About Kennet Community Energy Limited


www.kennetenergy.org.uk


 

Kennet Community Energy Limited (KCEL) was established in 2013 from an initiative of the Energy Group of Transition Marlborough, and has been set up as a practical response to the challenges that we face with our future energy supplies and climate change.

 

KCEL is a Community Benefit Society and is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), registration# IP031942, and our purpose is to conduct a renewable energy business for the benefit of the communities in north and east Wiltshire and the surrounding area.

 

As a not-for-profit social enterprise, constituted for the benefit of the community, our Rules ensure that any surplus income will be given back to the community via a Community Fund and our assets are also 'locked', meaning that anything that KCEL owns can only be transferred to another body that is similarly constituted with its own 'asset lock'.

 

The Society was formally incorporated in January 2013, commenced operations with the deployment of a solar photovoltaic installation in Devizes in May 2013, and is now developing a growing portfolio of projects. Full details about KCEL can be found at our main web site.
