Our learnings from this report

Community energy is people getting together in their communities to work on energy solutions to the climate crisis, harnessing local people’s passion, expertise, knowledge and capital. CEBs install renewable generation and storage, do energy efficiency and fuel poverty work, deliver education, training and jobs for local people, deliver low-carbon transport projects and more.
