Why we were raising funds
- HFCE was raising £106.5k to bring the 270 solar panels installed at Jack Tizard School into community ownership.
- The panels will save 446 tonnes of carbon emissions over the lifetime of the project and raise money to fund community initiatives.
- The panels have been installed with support from Repowering London, which has been working to bring locally-owned clean energy to communities for more than 10 years.

Make a difference. Not just an investment.
Community energy co-ops are owned by their members, so an investment in the co-op supports a people-powered energy transition.
An investment as little as £50* supports a greener and fairer energy system in the borough. Investors in HFCE’s community share offer also:
- Receive a target 3% return on their investment
- Help generate clean energy that cuts the borough’s carbon emissions and the school’s energy bill
- Become a member with a voice on how the co-op is run and what it does with its profits to further benefit the community.
*H&F residents only. Standard minimum investment is £100.
What are community shares?
Community shares are a flexible and inclusive way to raise finance that are only issued by co-operatives and community benefit societies. Check out our FAQs to learn more about how they work.

How it all started
Hammersmith & Fulham Community Energy was created by a group of H&F residents. With the support of Repowering London, they established the Community Benefit Society, carried out solar feasibility studies in local buildings and started telling their neighbours about the project.
HFCE’s mission is to develop democratically led, community-owned sustainable energy projects that empower the local community and reduce carbon emissions.
Together with you, HFCE will build a clean, local and affordable energy future for everyone in Hammersmith & Fulham. Find out more about HFCE here, including details of its volunteer Directors, or contact us on 07546 237132 or email hfcommunityenergy@gmail.com.
