York is a city renowned for its beautiful architecture and green spaces.
What’s better than two great things working together? A solar-powered York is not for the future, it's being built now with private and public sites generating sustainable power for their needs and the planet.

Thanks @commenergyengland.bsky.social for another inspiring night; awards may be nonsense but there are lots of people and groups out there busting their guts for energy justice - making slow progress but every year there are more of us. That's worth celebrating. #CEawards2025

We've responded to two new government consultations on completing the smart meter rollout by 2030 and on consumer-led flexibility.
They’re fundamentally linked – we can't build a fair, flexible energy system without smart meters in every home that wants one.

Since 2021 YCE has been partnering with Solar for Schools, and this year we reached a megawatt of solar installed in York!
It has been a long journey since our first partnership with Clifton Green Primary, but now we have expanded to 9 sites across our city.
