For technical reasons, only those below the Hall Green electricity substation can be a Member of our Co-op (see map overleaf: the black line shows the boundary of the areas served).
We are working with Energy Local CIC www.energylocal.org.uk who have set up about 18 similar clubs around UK, but we will be potentially the largest and most urban.
South-East Birmingham will enable you to:
Buy other Members’ surplus electricity – at a better price than from your current energy provider.
If you have solar PV panels on your roof, get a better price for the surplus electricity you generate.
Help people in energy poverty.
Keep the profits from locally generated electricity here within the city, for use by our local not-for-profit co-op.
Consider installing solar PV panels on your roof – to get free electricity and sell the surplus. Acocks Greener can give you advice and support on reducing your energy loss and costs, improving your comfort and health.
