Cut Business Energy Costs and Support Our City.

Norwich is taking a bold step forwards with the Norwich Solar System.

The surge in energy prices, coupled with net zero goals presents an urgent opportunity to explore new forms of low carbon energy for Norwich. The Norwich Solar System will transform unused business rooftops into solar energy generators. Working with ConsensusPower, Norwich BID want to establish a local energy community for Norwich providing businesses with lower-cost, locally sourced, sustainable energy.

About the Norwich Solar System

A collaboration between ConsensusPower and Norwich Business Improvement District (BID), the Norwich Solar System is an innovative project that transforms the economics of generating and consuming locally produced clean power across the city.

This groundbreaking project will establish a local energy community for Norwich, in which low-cost, renewable energy is supplied to businesses from city centre rooftops and out-of-town generators.

How the Norwich Solar System Works

We’re installing solar on as many business rooftops as possible, so you can benefit from solar power without any capital expenditure.

  • Unique peer-to-peer (P2P) energy platform – Share excess power with other Norwich businesses, reducing costs for all.
  • Additional “top-up” power is supplied from nearby, out-of-town renewable generators. See exactly where your electricity comes from.
  • Community donation – ConsensusPower donates £2 for every megawatt-hour traded to local non-profit community groups, for the lifetime of the assets.

What’s in it for You?

Landlords & building owners

  • Zero upfront cost.
  • Improve your asset value and EPC rating.
  • Earn an income for the asset’s lifetime.

Tenants & building occupiers

  • Secure long-term, low-cost and stable priced clean power from local sources.
  • Show visible climate action to your customers and partners.

Local community

  • Community donation to support local non-profit initiatives. ConsensusPower donates £2 for every unit (MWh)
    of power traded.

Environment

  • Over time, Norwich and the surrounding areas will derive more and more energy from local clean and renewable sources.

This is such an exciting opportunity for Norwich Businesses to be part of a first-of-its-kind solar energy network. We are delighted to be partnering with ConsensusPower to be offering an affordable route to renewable energy for Norwich businesses. I’d really encourage anyone to get in touch with us to find out more.
