London, UK — 14th October 2025 - Over 70% of residents approached in Haringey and Islington have already provided emails to join Future Now Empowered’s Community Energy Clusters, with 86% expressing interest and 80% supporting the shared finance model. Together, these clusters could cut household energy bills by up to 90%.
Future Now Empowered (FNE), a social-enterprise spin-out from Future Now Partners, is pioneering 200–500 home Community Energy Clusters that combine solar panels, shared batteries, and smart energy management. The result: ultra-low-cost, reliable electricity — owned by residents, schools, businesses and the wider community — creating a self-sustaining cycle of local energy independence.
“Paying £1,000 a month for bills, we really want change,” said Chanica, a resident from Islington.
“Finally a door-to-door project that makes you feel positive,” added John, Haringey.
Unlike other energy projects, FNE combines local engagement, resident financial ownership, and a scalable model to help other communities launch their own clusters — while also supporting our National Grid. Shared batteries not only provide cheap, reliable power locally, but also strengthen our grid, smoothing voltage spikes and enabling broader renewable integration for everyone.
How it works:
- • Communities start together, install infrastructure, and see bills drop immediately.
- • Contributions go into a shared pot, funding the next cluster — creating a self-sustaining movement.
- • Once clusters are paid off, energy stays near zero cost, and social and economic impact grows.
“FNE isn’t just about cheaper energy — it’s about ownership, fairness, and resilience. Together, every one of us becomes a shareholder in the future, and it starts now,” said FNE Founder DeQuincy Prescott.
Join the movement today — help your community and our grid. Residents, businesses, funders, journalists, and green-tech partners can sign up at FNEmpowered.com or email fne@fnpnow.com.

Community Energy Project Briefing — Autumn 2025
From learning to live deployment.
We are advancing a live project to deploy a solar array and battery storage at a local primary school, with grant applications currently under review. Designed to maximise export income, the installation also serves as the first node in an expandable community energy grid.
The report presented here documents the work that led directly to this application — research, modelling, community engagement and system design tested in real neighbourhood conditions. Those findings have already been applied, informing system architecture, strengthening funding cases and accelerating delivery.
Community energy is not only a social outcome; it is an infrastructure opportunity. At scale, lower household bills are enabled by significant capital deployment, installation and long‑term maintenance — creating durable, multi‑year value. This is why early option‑based partnerships matter: rigorous validation now unlocks long‑term impact later.
