PUNL - Power Up North London

Power Up North London (PUNL) delivers a range of community energy projects, with a particular focus on solar PV. We do this by identifying the opportunity, raising grant funding for the

feasibility work, project managing this phase, and if the project is viable, delivering all stages through to installation. We also do lighting audits of community buildings and apply for grants

to help these organisations switch over to lower energy LED lighting. We work with partners to deliver fuel poverty workshops and have also advised a housing complex on a private wire

solution for sharing the benefits of solar PV between all tenants.PUNL’s vision is that Camden and Islington become zero carbon boroughs, driven in part by a resilient, independent and

collaborative community of local residents harnessing clean energy.

PUNL is reliant on a small number of regular experienced volunteers to deliver its work. These volunteers bring skills in strategy and business management, financial planning and analysis,

engineering, marketing, policy and communications. As we bring on more projects we plan to adapt our structure and activities to take on some full-time staff and will work to provide easy

entry points for volunteers to get involved, for instance, through our quarterly community meetings.

The PUNL Community Energy Fund uses surplus funds from the business activity of Power Up North London to encourage and support community action in reducing carbon in our

atmosphere. The fund is administered by a committee formed of PUNL shareholders and members of our board of directors. We want to tackle climate change and are excited about this

opportunity to take that journey with other organisations based in North London.
