ABOUT US

We operate two community solar farms at Chelworth and Braydon Manor, as well as three rooftop solar arrays on Wiltshire Wildlife Trust buildings. We also plan to install a new rooftop array at Silverwood School.
As a Wiltshire Wildlife Trust partner, we share its vision for a more sustainable future for people and wildlife and are committed to bringing our communities together in pursuit of a cleaner, greener tomorrow.
Excess income from our sustainable solar energy schemes is pumped straight into our community fund and distributed as grants to worthwhile initiatives that share our objectives. More recently, we’ve established our own, free-to-access energy advice service providing support to some of the most vulnerable during the challenging winter months.
Our solar installations generate nearly 6,000MWh of clean energy every year, enough to power as many as 2,200 homes

As a Community Benefit Society, WWCE is radically different from traditional companies in that our activity must benefit the community, rather than just our members. Investments from people like you mean we can bring forward more green energy projects in Wiltshire that cut carbon emissions, boost biodiversity, and give other deserving causes a helping hand.
When we work together, great things happen!
