Governance

Harborough Energy is a social enterprise set up as a cooperative (with a limited company registration) with the specific charter aim to deliver benefits to the local community of Market Harborough and returns to investors in its renewable energy projects. The volunteer directors run the organisation but do not gain from any profits generated. Directors can be engaged for their expertise in a specific capacity. Any such engagements will be declared in our meeting minutes.

The board meets every couple of months to a set agenda, as well as holding our more formal Annual General Meetings. The minutes of the meetings and more information on our roles and structure can be accessed here.
