Welcome to Energy Local Totnes
Set up by the Totnes Renewable Energy Society (TRESOC), Energy Local Totnes is a community-led club that enables you to source your energy from – and contribute to – our locally generated solar and hydro supply.
By matching local energy demand to local generation, the club offers households and small businesses the chance to pay less for power, while helping to build a resilient, environmentally-conscious energy network that benefits your pocket, your community and your planet.

Energy Local Totnes on BBC TV
Energy Local Totnes was featured on the One Show on the 3/6/2025. The short film did a brilliant job of capturing the essence of what Energy Local Totnes is doing and how all of our members are part of something very innovative and special. You can watch the 4-minute show here.
Membership Requirements
We’re initially seeking 150 households and small businesses to become founding members of Energy Local Totnes.
Prospective members must:
- have premises located within the Totnes Electricity Substation area (see map below)
- have a smart meter (or be happy for one to be installed)
- be able to switch energy supplier to our partner, 100Green, by being either out of contract with their current supplier, or willing to pay an exit fee to them (if required by that company)
- be prepared to accept a tariff with 100Green that, when locally generated power is not being used, may be higher than some domestic tariffs (although this may not impact our members often, considering the consistent electricity supply from Totnes Weir Hydro)
- be patient, as we are the first Energy Local club to partner with 100Green, so there may be some initial teething problems!
If you meet the criteria above, we’d love to have you on board, so please register your interest in joining by clicking on the "Join Energy Local Totnes" button above or below.

The map shows the area covered by the Totnes Electricity substation & therefore the extent of the Energy Local Totnes club.
The Match Tariff and Time Of Use Tariffs below apply from 1 April 2026. We will update the Time Of Use Tariffs annually.

Come and Talk to Us!
We’ll be at the Totnes Climate Hub on the 2nd Friday of every month, from 1-3pm , where we’ll be able to explain in person how the Energy Local Totnes Club can help you benefit most from community electricity.
We’ll also be accepting new members, and be able to guide you through the registration process.
