Repowering’s work began in 2011 when we installed 82 kWp of community-owned solar photovoltaic panels across two social housing estates in Brixton. These projects, Brixton Energy Solar 1 and 2, were the first of their kind in the UK and brought environmental, social and economic benefits to one of the nation’s most deprived communities. We continued our work in 2014 with the installation of an additional 52 kWp on the Roupell Park Housing estate, known as Brixton Energy Solar 3. Investors in the Brixton Energy Solar projects are now seeing a healthy return on their investments. Income is flowing into the ring-fenced Community Fund, which has been used to create educational grants for young people from the local estates on which these projects are located.
