Investment opportunity in North Lincolnshire: Join the North Lincolnshire Community Energy share offer!

Investment opportunity in North Lincolnshire: Join the North Lincolnshire Community Energy share offer!

Newly fitted solar pannels on the roof of John Leggott College, Scunthorpe.

NORTH Lincolnshire businesses and residents have a unique opportunity to invest in a sustainable future while supporting the local community through the North Lincolnshire Community Energy (NLCE) share offer. This initiative enables solar panel installations for community buildings, at no cost to the organisations themselves, providing a valuable return to both investor-members and the wider community.

In the past two years it has helped over eighteen sites in Scunthorpe make massive energy cost savings; including the Baths Hall, John Leggott College, North Lincolnshire Museum and Attis Arena.

What is NLCE?

NLCE funds solar panel systems for community sites in North Lincolnshire, aiming to:

  • Reduce energy costs for community organisations, helping them allocate more resources to vital local services.
  • Lower carbon footprints and support North Lincolnshire’s green goals.
  • Enhance educational and community outreach, using renewable energy as a platform to educate and engage local residents.

NLCE is Cooperatives UK registered.

Why Invest?

By investing in NLCE’s second share offer, you, or your business can:

  • Generate Sustainable Returns – Investor-members earn returns as community organisations benefit from reduced energy expenses.
  • Strengthen Community Ties – Play a direct role in supporting schools, museums, and community centres across North Lincolnshire, enhancing their positive impact.
  • Support Local Green Initiatives – Contributing to NLCE aligning with regional goals for sustainability and renewable energy, promoting a greener economy for North Lincolnshire and the UK in general.

Proven Impact and Growing Success

The first NLCE share offer successfully installed solar systems for community spaces, including on Attis Arena, the Baths Hall, John Leggott College, North Lincolnshire Museum, Ashby Community  Hub, and over ten local schools; saving these organisations over £200,000 in energy costs.

This second Share Offer aims to expand these efforts to support MORE local community buildings, including Lyndsey Lodge and Kingfisher Lodge.

Both businesses and individuals are invited to join in, to make an even greater impact.

Exclusive Benefits for Eligible Investors

Beyond financial returns, the first fifty share offer members with eligible postcodes will receive an additional benefit: an annual family pass to Normanby Hall. It’s NLCE’s way of saying thanks for investing in North Lincolnshire’s future.

How to Get Involved

The share offer has just launched, and NLCE welcomes investment from North Lincolnshire residents and businesses looking to make a difference in their community.
