About FRECo
FRECo – Frome Renewable Energy Community – exists to bring energy home to Frome. We enable local people to invest in clean, renewable energy through community shares, building projects that generate power for our town and returns for our community. We are a not-for-profit, democratic organisation, and any surplus from our renewable energy projects is reinvested into a community fund supporting energy saving and local climate action.
As a member, you have a real say in what we do next – one member, one vote. FRECo was founded through Sustainable Frome and works in partnership with Bath and West Community Energy.

Your Community Energy Board
FRECo is shaped and guided by local people. Our board of directors brings together a wide range of skills and experience, united by a commitment to community-owned renewable energy in Frome. Click on a photo below to find out more about each director.
