Community-led renewable projects are enabling local areas to generate their own clean power, benefit directly from renewables, and play a key role in strengthening energy security. With successful examples emerging across the UK and new government support mechanisms, this session explores how developers can collaborate with communities to deliver projects that cut bills, displace expensive gas generation, and create lasting local value.
- Lessons from community wind and solar projects and how developers are partnering with local areas to deliver locally-owned renewable generation
- How new initiatives are enabling more communities to take advantage of renewable opportunities and access funding for local projects
- How community energy projects reduce electricity bills by displacing gas generation, strengthen energy security, and ensure communities benefit directly from clean power
