FEATURED PROJECT
Community Hydro & Energy
Exploring the potential to expand renewable generation, improve local infrastructure and develop a community-owned energy and leisure destination.
EXISTING
- Existing hydroelectric generation
PROPOSED — NOT YET CONFIRMED
- Potential capacity upgrades
- Community energy participation
- Wild swimming lake (feasibility)
- Café and visitor facilities
- EV charging
- Potential green hydrogen production (not confirmed)
- Environmental and flood-management improvements
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
Help Build the Next Community Asset
Community Hydro & Energy is being explored as a community-oriented project. Funding is currently informational — expression of interest only. No money is being collected until the acquisition, fundraising arrangements and legal structure are confirmed.
No target or amount raised is shown because none has been confirmed.
Registering interest, or any future contribution, does not by itself give ownership, a guaranteed financial return or cheaper electricity. Membership, community shares, loans and donations are different arrangements; any formal offer will come with approved documents, eligibility rules and risk disclosures.
Risks and dependencies
- Acquisition has not been agreed
- Planning permission and environmental approvals may not be granted
- Technical and financial feasibility are unproven
- Funding and legal structure are not yet defined
- Hydrogen production is an early-stage idea only
Register your interest
We'll send updates. This is not a commitment or payment.
COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP AND REINVESTMENT
Value that stays with the asset and the community around it
Acquire or secure
Secure a viable asset.
Improve and maintain
Look after it properly.
Develop new uses
Add uses and revenue streams.
Protect funds
Set aside for maintenance and future liabilities.
Reinvest surplus
Where available, into sustainable expansion and community value.
Reinvestment is central to our approach, but we do not promise that all revenue will always be reinvested until a project's legal structure and financial obligations are defined. Where a project allows participation, we will state the actual mechanism — membership, community shares, loans or donations — as these are not interchangeable.
OUR PROJECTS
Current and proposed projects
Wild Swimming Lake
Clean, safe lakes created for swimming, recreation and tourism.
View project
Flood Defence System
Exploring natural flood management, relief ponds and engineered defences. Any scheme needs site-specific engineering and approvals.
View project
EV Charging & Hydrogen Feasibility
EV charging, battery storage and early-stage hydrogen feasibility. Hydrogen is a proposed opportunity only.
View projectHOW ACE WORKS
One process across every division
Discover
Identify land, resources and opportunities.
Develop
Plan the infrastructure, commercial model and environmental considerations.
Activate
Create usable assets, services and experiences.
Reinvest
Maintain assets, develop new revenue streams and create lasting value.
PRECISE PLACE TECHNOLOGY
Every place, down to 3m × 3m
Mapped land is divided into 3m × 3m locations identified with What3Words. We use them for access bookings, passes and receipts, approved routes and activity areas, and community project maps.
A mapped location or digital certificate is not legal ownership of land, a hydro installation or any other physical asset.
LANDOWNERS, BUSINESSES AND PUBLIC BODIES
Have land, materials or a project? Let's make it useful.
Income from underused land, bookable experiences, bulk materials, renewable energy, flood and water management, and community projects.
