Community energy gives local people and organisations a greater role in the energy transition, with benefits that can include lower energy costs, local investment and greater community ownership.
#CommunityEnergy #NetZero
Great to see another 100 schools and colleges joining the Great British Energy Solar Partnership. Rooftop solar can cut energy costs, reduce carbon emissions and free up funding for education. Strong local partnerships will be key to maximising the long-term benefits.
Great British Energy's Local Power Plan webinars are an opportunity to help shape the future of local energy support.
It's encouraging to see a focus on capacity, capability and partnerships, not just funding: gbe.gov.uk/blog/register-loc…
Community energy has a vital role to play in the energy transition, but communities need the right support, investment & opportunities to help turn ambition into delivery. Today's Get Connected report makes that case clearly.

Carbon Budget 7 sets out a pathway towards an 87% reduction in emissions by 2040. Community energy will be key to making that happen.
Local projects can generate clean power, reduce bills and ensure the benefits of net zero are felt in communities across the UK.
The UK's exposure to global gas prices still drives what households and businesses pay. The real opportunity is local, community energy models that reduce volatility and keep value where it's generated.

Northern England has the foundations of a stronger community energy system, but delivery is still constrained by system structures. Community energy projects across wind, solar and upgraded sites are ready to move if conditions allow.co2sense.co.uk/community-ene…
Solar has set a new GB record estimating 14,414MW. A milestone for renewables, but an important message that community energy is still not scaling fast enough.

Community-owned renewables do more than cut emissions. They bring people together, strengthen local resilience & give communities a real stake in the energy transition.

The Dept for Energy Security & Net Zero has unveiled the £15bn Warm Homes Plan to cut bills & tackle fuel poverty. CO2Sense welcomes the plan. It is an important step towards tackling fuel poverty and making homes warmer and more affordable.
It’s great to see that funding from GBEgovuk means that even more NHS sites will be getting solar panels! Money saved from lower energy bills means money can go back into patient care, making a difference for local communities.
