About the Co-op

Countryside Energy Co-op plans to build community-owned sustainable (renewable) energy generating facilities which will enable ordinary people to own the key commodity of electricity.

We are a rural-based Co-operative, owned, managed and maintained by our Members.

 

The Logo

CEC Logo

The logo describes our approach to sustainable, or renewable, energy as part of the holistic outlook towards sustainability of the environment, economy and jobs.

The yellow central disk is the sun, the green leaves represent plants or biomass, the white midribs of the leaves signify windmill blades, and the blue streaks symbolize wind and water. Harvesting renewable energy !

These components embody sustainability : the sun provides the environment with heat, light and photovoltaic [PV] electricity; leaves on plants convert the sun’s radiation into food, grazing, flowers and biomass for energy; windmill blades for the power of the wind to generate electrical or mechanical energy; and water provides us with nature’s best drink, irrigation for our land, and when flowing to generate hydro-electricity.

On our motif, “Community Renewable Energy” encapsulates our key objective : sustainable energy developed, owned, managed by and benefitting our Co-operative members in the community.
