Energy Donwell

Hi my name is Andrew I was born and raised in south east London my story began when one night I had a dream that the world was powered by only renewable energy. I then thought to myself why does not everyone have solar panels? After having that dream I began on my journey. I started off by getting involved with a community energy project called Brixton energy. I helped them to fund raising locally for solar panels on an estate in Brixton.

I then became involved with several community energy groups across London. I have learnt a lot by attending these groups as well as meeting people with the same passion as for renewable energy. I see that different groups use different methods to generate clean energy I also see that they was finding it time consuming to manage payments made by the community.

After some deep thought I came up with a solution that would not just help the community energy groups that I have joined but it will also encourage more communities to come together an become a community energy group there had to be a place that helps local investor connect with community energy groups, a place they can think of a community energy project and get investors and the community to invest in their community energy project. So my solution was Energy Donwell a crowd funding platform that will help local investors connect with community energy group projects and make payments easy via the crowd funding platform.
