Community Energy
Local communities play a crucial role in our transition to renewable energy, demand reduction, and innovative energy supply projects.
We support a range of energy products, including partnerships with commercial or public sector partners and those wholly owned and/or controlled by communities.
What is Community Energy?
Community energy describes energy projects that are owned, controlled, or benefit local communities.
Community energy groups play a crucial role in projects and trials led by others, including local authorities, energy companies, and network operators.
Establishing links between people, communities and businesses ensure that energy projects give local people control. Every project benefits from:
Local engagement
Local leadership
Democratic control
Local community benefit
