BWCE is a not-for-profit community energy business. We tackle climate change through clean energy generation and energy efficiency measures in homes. We also reinvest surplus income in local community projects reducing carbon emissions and addressing fuel poverty. Our renewable energy projects in Bath and the surrounding area rely upon community support and investment from people especially locally but also further afield. We value our support network hugely.
Come for an afternoon at the Museum of Bath at Work to learn more about Bath and West Community Energy plans and how you can make a difference!
