Support an Energy Community,
or build one yourself.
Orklys helps communities across Europe plan, fund, and build renewable energy projects—so you can own your power and keep the value local.
- Own your energy production as a community
- Lower bills and generate long-term returns
- Keep money circulating locally
- Build resilience and independence together
This Is Your Moment
Energy communities are reshaping how Europe powers itself. Neighbours, villages, and local organisations are coming together to own wind turbines, solar installations, and storage systems—generating clean power and real returns.

But Getting Started Shouldn't Be This Hard
You've got the vision. Maybe the land. Perhaps even a group of neighbours ready to act. But between regulations, permits, technology choices, and funding—the path forward feels buried in complexity.

What's Possible When Communities Lead
In a small coastal town of 2,800 people, neighbours came together with a bold idea: build one of Europe's largest community-owned wind turbines.
The energy they generate? It stays in Thyboron. The returns? They go to the people who live there. This is what happens when a community decides to own its energy future.

Common Questions
Most communities we work with are exactly where you are. A conversation helps you understand what's possible and what to do first.
You don't need it. That's what we provide—the technical, legal, and financial knowledge so you can focus on your community.
Your first consultation is free. We'll discuss your situation and you'll understand any costs before committing to anything.
That's what our tools and team help you figure out. We analyse your location, goals, and resources to recommend what fits.
We work with communities of all sizes—from small neighbourhood solar to multi-megawatt wind installations.
What We Believe
Even though we write algorithms, trust and relationships are at the heart of our work.
We're revolutionising how renewable energy projects get built. Faster, simpler, and ready to compete.
Developing renewable energy projects is complex. We make it simple.
We believe in open communication and clear processes. No hidden agendas.
We believe renewable energy should be accessible to everyone. No matter where you are.
