This role will be working as part of the Collective where we’re bringing people together to fight climate change by creating an abundance of clean, green electrons to supply the future generation with zero emission electricity.
For decades, energy projects like wind and solar have been full of friction, owned by corporate organisations and pushed into communities who, because they saw little benefit, did not want them.
The Collective brings a new wave of renewable energy projects where sites have been identified by our customers, can be owned by everyone (institutions AND people) and where people who live locally receive cheaper electricity when the wind blows or the sun shines.
Together we’ll shake up the world of renewable energy generation.
