Croydon Community Energy
Connie Muir
Croydon Community Energy is on a mission to implement renewable energy generation and low-carbon technologies in their local area, empowering communities to cut both emissions and energy bills and supporting people impacted by fuel poverty.
As a Community Benefit Society, Croydon Community Energy is working to install renewable energy generation and low-carbon solutions, such as solar panels, on community sites throughout the London Borough of Croydon. This helps communities to become more self-sufficient with their energy usage, while protecting people against oil and gas price rises.
They direct profits back into the community to support those in fuel poverty through impartial advice, and provide training opportunities to people from disadvantaged or underrepresented backgrounds to transition into green jobs.

In May 2021, after always wanting to set up my own business, I came across the concept of community energy. I knew it would be the perfect way to combine my professional energy experience with my passion for mitigating climate change on a local level and I founded Croydon Community Energy. Being part of the Changemakers programme will have such a huge impact on both advertising and spreading the word, enabling us to reach people that need help and link us with others in the community who can provide services, such as training for disadvantaged people.
