Forest Community Energy

Forest Community Energy Supporting a greener Forest of Dean with community solar installations and running energy saving information events. We are more than an energy society.

We are a community of people who believe that the future of energy should be clean, fair, and locally owned. As a Community Benefit Society, we bring neighbours, friends, and partners together to create renewable energy projects that put the people of the Forest of Dean, and the planet, first. Our mission is about more than generating power – it is about empowering our community. Every panel we in

stall and every project we launch helps cut carbon, tackle fuel poverty, and keep more of the benefits here, where they belong. We are owned and governed by our members, which means everyone has a voice. Decisions are made collectively, and the profits we generate are reinvested into local projects – from supporting families with energy costs to funding initiatives that strengthen our community. By working together, we are proving that renewable energy is not just possible – it’s powerful. It’s a way to take action on climate change, create resilience, and ensure that the benefits of the green transition are shared by all. We are a movement for a brighter, fairer, sustainable future – built by the community, for the community.

The last of the Dymock & Bromesberrow "Future Energy Landscapes" post-wokshop engagement events happended last week in Much Markle, just over the parish boundary.

We ran a mini-FEL at the Sustainability Cafe, and a stand at the lovely Hellen's Manor Produce Market. Some great conversations, one person interested in hosting a wind turbine, and delicious cake!
