Helping schools to run on sun
Putting solar panels on schools is a no-brainer! It lets schools produce energy from the sun, slashing their electricity costs AND reducing their polluting emissions. It also makes schools a beacon of hope in their communities - showing that renewable energy can be small-scale and community owned - with benefits for both climate and people!
A community owned renewable energy provider
Community Power is Ireland’s first community owned electricity supplier. They are working with Irish communities to develop renewable energy projects owned by people. Switch your electricity supplier to Community Power to power your home with small-scale, community owned, renewable energy!
