Empower Energy Goes Open-Source!
🚀 Exciting news! While the Empower Energy Charitable Trust is winding up, our impact doesn’t end here—we’re releasing our platform as open-source software! 🎉
đź”— This means charities, community groups, and social enterprises can now host their own Community Energy Credit Sharing initiatives using our proven system.
✨ What the platform enables:
âś… Set up donors, administrators, and agencies to manage community energy funds
âś… Distribute bill credits to electricity retailers using pooled donations
âś… Xero integration to streamline payments (or adapt files for other systems)
✅ Low hosting costs—easy to deploy with minimal overhead
💡 If your organisation (or one you know) could use this platform to support energy equity, we’d love to connect. Keep an eye out for our GitHub release, or reach out for more details.
🔄 Help us spread the word—tag a charity or community group that might be interested! 🌍⚡
