Herts Community Energy

Powering Hertfordshire’s Future Together

Practical energy support for Hertfordshire

Herts Community Energy helps households, community organisations and
villages understand their energy options, reduce costs and take practical
steps towards a more sustainable future.

Our work starts with straightforward local advice and can lead to
tailored support for homes, improvements to community buildings and
wider community-energy opportunities.


  • Practical help to understand and reduce energy costs.

  • Advice about insulation, heating and renewable energy.

  • Support for village halls and other community buildings.


  • Opportunities for communities to explore and benefit from local
    energy.

Community buildings and not-for-profits

Village halls, community centres and charities face many of the same
pressures as households, often while managing larger buildings and more
complicated energy arrangements.

We can help organisations understand their energy use, reduce unnecessary
costs and begin planning practical improvements.


  • Understand bills, tariffs and energy use.

  • Identify practical efficiency improvements.

  • Plan improvements and explore potential funding routes.

  • Access specialist support through trusted partners.

Heating Oil Buying Group

Rural households can reduce the cost of heating oil by combining their
orders with other local customers.

Members tell us how much oil they need and benefit from the lower price
available through a larger collective order.


From individual support to community energy

Herts Community Energy is about practical help now, but it also creates
opportunities for communities to think more ambitiously about their
energy future.

Communities can build local knowledge, improve shared buildings and
explore how they might generate, manage or benefit from more of their own
energy.


What if your village could benefit from more of the energy it
produces?
