Calderdale Current
The local community energy-buying scheme through Hawley Energy / Baseline Power.
Your local energy bill can do more than cover the cost.
Local businesses need lower costs and access to funding, but energy buying can feel like another fixed overhead. Calderdale Current turns part of the energy you already use into a route toward your own energy-saving projects.
0.5p
From every kWh of electricity a member uses
0.5p per kWh of electricity you use goes into a Community Energy Fund.
The fund is managed by the Community Foundation for Calderdale. Your existing energy use can therefore help create funding for practical improvements where you work.
The solution
Buy locally, then bring the benefit back to your building.
Build the fund as you buy
Your supply contract helps grow the Community Energy Fund while you continue using the energy your organisation needs.
Unlock funding at £10,000
Once the fund reaches the £10,000 threshold, eligible organisations can receive 100% grant funding for energy-saving measures.
The result for you
Your energy bill helps fund your own energy-saving projects.
Eligible organisations can receive 100% grant funding for energy-saving measures, helping you reduce avoidable cost and make progress without waiting for a separate capital allocation.
