WREN is a not-for-profit co-operative, owned and run by its members, working to transform energy from being a cost to becoming a benefit. We are spending some £7,000,000 on energy, and yet 25% of our population is in fuel poverty.

WREN works to bring income from renewable generation, to help cut fuel bills,
and to bring the wider economic benefits that come from being known as early adopters of the low carbon economy, including high value employment.

WREN’s own income is directed to those community projects and investments chosen by its members.

WREN has four broad principles:

1. WREN is primarily an economic programme of community investment,

2. WREN seeks to engage the entire population, not just those already concerned with these issues.

3. WREN seeks to save and generate energy at a scale that will have a
meaningful impact upon the population’s actual consumption.

4. WREN subjects itself to rigorous external evaluation.
