The overwhelming majority of small scale installations in the UK are Solar Photovoltaic, according to BEIS. Our solar arrays in Salford, Bury and Trafford generated 5,566 Kwh. and 74% of the energy produced was consumed in-site. Happy Indian Summer to all #CommunityEnergy #GMCR

This is a great story about the benefits of a local authority investing in solar. Forest Heath District Council’s solar farm has generated more than £1.3m of income in its second year, letting them plough more than £370k back into council services. localgov.co.uk/Councils-sola…

More than 5,500 churches across the UK, including Salisbury, Southwark, Liverpool and St Albans cathedrals, have switched to renewables to help tackle climate change bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-45…
Join us at the Sunday Quiz (Community Energy Fortnight event) stjohnssunshine.wordpress.co… (7pm, Sunday 1st July) Help St John’s Sunshine get into hot water and raise the £5,500 needed for a new solar water system for St John’s Centre.
Polling released today from @CoopEnergy shows 71% of people would support local renewable energy projects, including wind turbines, if they were owned and controlled by the community, with the profits benefitting the community. 6% would not. #CEconf18 #CommunityEnergy
