Powering Care. Protecting Our Future

Published on 14th May 2025

Keech launches UK-first solar energy project to support hospice care

We’re thrilled to share something truly groundbreaking—and power saving! A 220kW charity solar panel installation is coming to Keech Hospice, thanks to the generosity of Renewable EDtricity Systems Ltd and a fantastic network of supporters.

Even better? It’s being installed completely free of charge.

This is the first project of its kind for a hospice in the UK. By switching to solar energy, we’ll save around £50,000 every single year—money we can now reinvest directly into care for children and adults living with life-limiting conditions.

This isn’t just about panels and power. It’s about people.

A bright idea born from a shared vision

Our journey with Renewable EDtricity began at a local networking event. We spoke about rising energy costs and the need to protect our services. Inspired by the care we provide and the lives we touch, Eddie and the team stepped forward with an idea that has now become a reality.

Together, we’re installing 504 solar panels on our hospice buildings—creating a legacy of sustainability and compassion.

“This is about more than energy savings. It’s about ensuring the care Keech provides can continue long into the future.”—Eddie Doherty, Managing Director of Renewable EDtricity Ltd

We still need your help

To complete the installation, we urgently need items such as:

  • Bird mesh and clips
  • Solar cabling and connectors
  • AC and DC isolators
  • Roof hooks and railings
  • Even meals and accommodation for our incredible volunteers!

If you or your company can donate materials, time, or services, we’d love to hear from you.

A legacy of care, built by community

This project brings together local heart and global expertise. It’s made possible by people who believe everyone deserves to live well and die well – in comfort, dignity and peace.

Thank you to EDtricity Ltd and every generous partner for helping us power the future of hospice care.

Because at Keech, every ray of sunshine helps us make every day count. ☀️
