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.
