Supporting Renewable Energy
for the Community

Who is Community Energy Finance?

Community Energy Finance is a funding source for the development and construction of Community-Owned Renewable Energy facilities around the world.
It was conceived in Ireland from communities that are self-funded with local and national government assistance like Templederry Wind Farm, County Tipperary, Ireland.
Community-Owned Renewable Energy is commercialised by Community Power Ltd, a community-owned national electricity and gas utility (energy supply company), which was developed from one of Ireland’s first wind farms.
- Community Power buys Community-Owned Renewable Energy power and sells it to the national grid (Eirgrid) for profit.
There are hundreds of Community-Owned Renewable Energy organisations throughout Europe, each paying their community shareholders an annual payment. Large-scale energy production requires large-scale financing.
- Community Power approached Community Energy Finance to design, set up, scale, and operate a financing model to allow Community-Owned Renewable Energy to participate at the highest levels of energy production in conjunction with the globally energy providers.

Community Energy Finance will create a payment system that benefits communities by reducing the cost of their energy and investing community funds.
All consumers, large and small, pay electricity bills through payment systems benefiting large banks.
There is no centralised coordinated payment system that empowers Community-Owned Renewable Energy. All consumers, large and small, pay electricity bills through payment systems benefiting large banks. Community Energy Finance will change this payment system so that it benefits communities.
This is needed to leverage stock market investment funding whilst retaining any profits in the community.
Community Energy Finance fills the void by capturing payments and their financial significance within stock markets for the benefit of a global Community-Owned Renewable Energy investment portfolio.
Community Energy Finance also provides a clear additional avenue for corporations to enhance their Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) policies in support of carbon reduction and climate change targets.
By including corporate and governmental authorities in the payment system, Community Energy Finance can raise 3 times more money for community investment in the stock markets.
Community Energy Finance is a win-win for all stakeholders.

Through the use of CEF’s system, everyone who purchases Community-Owned Renewable Energy:
- will save money on electricity bills.
- will support the development of future community energy projects.
Community-Owned Renewable Energy cooperatives will benefit local communities rather than large investors.

Community Energy Finance issues a broad range of consumers from domestic, commercial and public authorities to corporations with Green Energy Payment cards.
This allows local communities to participate in the European and global energy markets.
Community Energy Finance makes payments to local communities and shareholders aiming to lower their energy bills.
