Energy4All facilitates the creation and development of community energy in the United Kingdom, based on the experience gained in the creation of the UK's first wind co-op, Baywind Energy Co-operative. It has gone on to raise over £40m on behalf of the co-operatives and community benefit societies through community share offerings.[1]

Energy4All is a private limited company established in 2002 that has helped create 24 community energy projects, including Westmill Wind Farm Co-operative and Boyndie Wind Farm Co-operative, which, along with Baywind, own Energy4All.

One of the co-operatives it has created, Energy Prospects Co-operative, specialises in taking early stage co-operatives through the development and planning application stages to the point where a community share offer, managed by Energy4All, can be launched to fund the project.

Energy4All won an Ashden Award in 2012.[2]

Energy4All was elected to the board of REScoop the European Federation of renewable energy cooperatives in 2017[3] and is a participant in the MECISE [4] project to develop a European cooperative energy investment fund.
