We help community-run buildings across South West Wales (Dyfed area) take the leap into renewable energy without the headache. Whether it’s rooftop solar, battery storage, EV charging, or energy-saving upgrades, we make the whole process simpler. From figuring out what’s possible to navigating funding applications, we’ve got your back. We have already helped places like Crymych Arms, Canolfan Hermon, and Llwyngwair Manor. Your community space could be next!
