MaidEnergy Ltd

Who we are

MaidEnergy is a community energy Society, which supports the growth of renewable energy infrastructure projects for the benefit of the local community.

MaidEnergy supports the growth of locally generated and locally owned renewable energy in Maidenhead, Windsor, Egham, Staines and the surrounding area. We are a community business, democratically run, with an asset lock to preserve our solar panels or other energy generation infrastructure for the benefit of the community.

We launched our first renewable electricity generating community Solar Photovoltaic (PV) share offer in 2015. Since then people have demonstrated their faith in us by investing £970,000. Their investment has funded eight Solar PV installations totalling 640kW and a 60kW Ground Source Heat Pump. These installations have brought low carbon, lower priced renewable energy to public organisations and seen 260 local and national investors join a movement of ethical and financially rewarding community ownership.

Our culture and values

As a community benefit society, MaidEnergy is part of the co-operative movement.  There are 10 values that all co-ops are based on:

1. Caring for others  
2. Democracy
3. Equity
4. Equality
5. Honesty
6. Openness
7. Self help
8. Self responsibility
9. Solidarity
10. Social responsibility

All MaidEnergy's achievements have been made with volunteer Directors, supported by committed volunteers and specialist contractors as required.   MaidEnergy is part of the lottery funded project Community Energy People and is now looking to employ a co-ordinator to increase our capacity and improve the consistency of our response.
