South East London Community Energy (SELCE) was formed in February 2014 by a group of Greenwich and Lewisham residents. We all shared a vision of a low carbon society in which everyone has access to a type of sustainable energy provision that could meet their needs and give them a voice in how that energy is produced.
We formed SELCE as a vehicle for taking action in a locally-focused way.
Our Aims
• To generate renewable and affordable energy in SE London that will mitigate climate change and accelerate the transition to zero-carbon, decentralised electricity systems.
• To build an economically sustainable business model that has a core focus on social responsibility and affordable energy provision.
