What is community energy?
Community energy puts people at the heart of the energy system. It brings local people together to understand, generate, own, use, and save energy.
Community energy projects are normally member-controlled and democratic, and set up to bring benefits to the local area, for example:
- by developing a community-owned solar array, and using profits to fund neighbourhood projects or support other community groups
- by providing advice to households struggling with bills and those considering home energy upgrades
- by investing in community e-bikes, supporting residents to use active travel
These initiatives all aim to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability while fostering a co-operative spirit.
Why attend?
If you are interested in learning more about community energy or have a project in mind, this event is the perfect opportunity to discover the key steps to move forward. You will learn about the national context for community energy, projects already happening in Hertfordshire, and the funding and support available to help you get started with a project in your area.
Hope to see you there!
