Community Energy Pembrokeshire

The Venture

Community Energy in Pembrokeshire (CEP) is a Community Interest Company created for the benefit of all individuals and community groups dwelling or based in the county of Pembrokeshire

The Company was formed from PLANED’s Community Action Planning process in 2013 to deliver renewable energy projects identified by a renewable energy opportunity study for South East Pembrokeshire, funded by PLANED and delivered by Dulas.

The objects of the Company are to:

• carry out activities which benefit the community
• promote all forms of energy conservation
• promote all forms of sustainable, renewable energy

Where surpluses arise from trading in renewable energy CEP will re-invest those surpluses in installations or activities that will:

• increase sustainability
• reduce fuel poverty
• reduce energy consumption
• generate renewable energy
• or otherwise contribute to climate change mitigation or adaptation

Renewable Power Pembrokeshire: East Williamston

We now have planning permission for a 500kw Turbine in East Williamston and are due to begin construction in the Summer.

The turbine site at Prouts Park Farm, East Williamston, was identified through a screening process funded by Planed in 2009. The landowner agreed a concessionary rate of rent for a community turbine, and since then considerable technical work has been undertaken by Seren Energy Limited, partly funded by Seren and partly by the Welsh Government’s Ynni’r Fro, Ynni Lleol and Welsh Government Energy Service Programmes.

EAST WILLIAMSTON 500KW TURBINE

What do Community Energy in Pembrokeshire (CEP) get from the project? CEP has no shareholders and is a not-for-profit organisation. 100% of surplus funds produced by the project will be provided to community led sustainable proposals

The community benefit will be funds available as: Interest free loans Low interest loans Grants & Awards
