YCE negotiates the purchase of local solar farms on behalf of the community and offers local people the opportunity to become shareholders, giving residents of the Yealm area, and Devon priority over investors living further afield. All our investor members will be offered a fair return on their investment, an equal say in how our business is run and the opportunity to make their savings do good.
We expect to launch our first share offer in early 2019.
Supporters will be sent copies of the investment prospectus as soon as it is available. If you are not already a supporter and would like to be kept informed please complete the Application Form.

Current Projects
Newton Downs, Newton Ferrers
Our first community project is an existing solar farm at Newton Downs. It generates enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 2000 average homes.
Creacombe, near Yealmpton
The 7.3 MW solar farm at Creacombe is planned to be built by 2021. It will be possibly the first community solar farm in the country to be built to operate without subsidy.
