Solar Seed Co-operative offers an opportunity to invest in more than just renewable energy projects—we are building a community-led energy platform that delivers long-term environmental, social and economic benefits. Our mission is to develop renewable energy projects that reduce energy costs for local organisations, strengthen community resilience and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.

Across the UK, many schools, sports clubs, charities and community organisations are facing rising energy costs but lack the capital needed to invest in renewable energy. Through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Solar Seed funds, develops and manages renewable energy projects, allowing organisations to benefit from clean electricity at a lower cost without the burden of significant upfront investment.

As an Investor Member, your investment helps finance new renewable energy assets while supporting wider community initiatives. In addition to developing solar projects, Solar Seed is committed to growing community engagement, supporting volunteers, promoting Local Power Clubs, and helping local residents better understand low-carbon technologies. Together, these activities create stronger, more resilient communities while building a pipeline of future renewable energy projects.

Our ambition is to create a diversified portfolio of community energy assets across the North East and beyond. By combining responsible investment with professional project development and strong local partnerships, we aim to deliver long-term value for our members while ensuring that the benefits of clean energy remain within the communities we serve.
