What is the Community Energy Fund?

The Community Energy Fund is the investment opportunity that puts your money to work delivering local projects to tackle climate change and pays you interest in return for your support.

We use the money invested in the Fund to strengthen and grow our portfolio of community energy projects. As a result we generate more green energy, a sustainable income stream for our carbon-cutting community work, and can deliver ground-breaking collaborative partnerships to accelerate the transition to a zero carbon energy system.

Since its inception in 2018, we’ve raised over £6 million through the Community Energy Fund, from over 1,700 investors.

Our renewable energy projects

The Low Carbon Hub owns and manages over 50 renewable energy installations across Oxfordshire, including rooftop solar, Sandford Hydro, and a ground mount solar park, Ray Valley Solar.
