what is community energy
Most projects are owned by local residents, using a community share financing model - people invest in projects close to their hearts, and in turn receive a small return on their investment each year. This way, they do something good with their money, and participate in local energy democracy.
Many community buildings are old and energy inefficient, spending vast amounts on their energy bills. Community energy projects look to retrofit these buildings, with measures like insulation or LED Lighting. This creates a more comfortable environment for building service users, as well as saving the community organisation money and carbon.
Utilising renewable energy sources like solar PV, Solar thermal, hydro power, as well as clean technologies like heat pumps, means that we are contributing to a net-zero energy transition.
Record levels of energy poverty can be found amongst London's residents, so community energy groups support the most vulnerable to understand and manage their energy bills, and access grants or discounts they're eligible for.
