Thrive’s Community Benefit Programme has been running since 2016, helping community centres near our sites to make energy efficiency improvements that reduce bills and carbon emissions. During that time, we’ve awarded over £258,000 in grants to community centres across the UK, saving an estimated 99 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.  
Building on the success of our existing programme, we’re now inviting communities to apply for grants that support a wider range of community initiatives, enabling local people to propose climate, nature or energy related projects that they feel are most needed in their neighbourhood. This could be initiatives that enable local people to take climate action, reduce emissions or save energy, or measures that improve access to green spaces and help people connect with nature in their area.  
The programme is open to community initiatives located within a 15 mile radius of one of our rurally based clean energy projects, or within a 5 mile radius of one of our urban clean energy projects. Groups can apply for grants of up to £4,500. Full details on eligibility and how to apply can be found on CSE’s website <a href="https://www.cse.org.uk/my-community/community-projects/thrive-renewables-community-benefit-programme/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. Applications close on 26th November.

This year we’ll be supporting a wider range of initiatives that communities feel are most needed to support climate action in their local neighbourhood.

Community Benefit Programme now open – tell us how you want climate action to look in your area

The 10MW project generates enough clean electricity to power over 4,000 average UK homes a year, avoiding the emission of more than 6,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. It is also one of the first sites in the UK to achieve Wild Power certification – verifying the measures we’ve introduced to make the solar farm a haven for local wildlife.
During the site visit, shareholders had an opportunity to view the neighbouring skylark area, where Thrive has introduced measures to create a more open botanically rich grassland that is better suited to breeding skylarks. Other biodiversity measures we have introduced on site include planting new species rich grassland and hedgerows, plus installing bird and bat boxes.
In addition to the site visit, Thrive’s management team provided an update on progress from the first half of the year during a presentation and Q&amp;A session at the local village hall.

Thrive shareholders headed to Essex to visit their 10MW solar farm and meet with members of the team.

Delivering on our mission – putting money to work building new clean energy projects and empowering people to take action to address the climate emergency – means that our positive contribution to avoiding UK carbon emissions far outweighs our own carbon footprint. However it is important to report on and reduce carbon emissions that are made in construction and operations.  
<a href="https://cms-admin.thriverenewables.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Thrive-Climate-Report-2025-FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thrive’s latest climate report</a> shows another year of good progress on our path to reaching net zero emissions by 2030. Let’s dive into some of the highlights…

Emission reductions are the emissions ‘avoided’ from the operation of our portfolio of clean energy projects (also referred to as scope 4). 2022 and 2024 were both very successful years for project construction and in both years our reported emissions include the construction footprint of three new projects. 
We are pleased to have achieved full scope 3 reporting for a fourth year, with the carbon intensity of our day-to-day services decreasing by around 14% when comparing 2025 to the base year 2022. This is encouraging to see and is supported by the decarbonisation stories we have heard through our supplier engagement – see below.

Our annual contractor engagement continues to encourage positive discussions on how to reduce emissions in our industry. In 2025, one asset manager cut travel emissions 66% by adopting EVs for 81% of their travel to Thrive’s sites, compared with 100% diesel fleet in 2024. Whilst requiring further planning to journeys to ensure the charges are kept in range, they managed to implement a significant step in the decarbonisation journey.

Case study: electric vehicle use by contractors 

It is also positive to see that the emissions intensity of the electricity imported to BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) projects has dropped by 38% from 2022 to 2025, putting us on track for this target area. 
Trains continue to comprise the majority of our business miles travelled in 2025, with the carbon intensity of our average business mile now 40% lower than when we first started reporting on this in 2019.  
Although not directly relevant to Thrive’s own reported emissions, we encourage our employees to reduce their own personal greenhouse gas footprints as well. For example, Thrive offers the ‘Sustainable Travel Leave’ benefit which rewards staff with paid journey days when opting for slower, greener options for their holiday travel. 
We are also currently looking to implement low carbon materials, such as using green steel, on new projects in our pipeline.
