WE DID IT! 🥳
We met our minimum target of £120k! This will allow us to install solar panels on all three of our community locations however if we were to meet our maximum target of £340k, we could do a lot more!

If you are involved in community energy, consider coming along to our comics co-creation workshops in London (9 May) or Manchester (10 May) to share experiences and learn from others.

No art experience needed! Travel bursaries available for those outside these cities! Pls share!
Are you involved in community energy? Know someone who is? We want to hear from you!

We are looking for people to come co-create comics about community energy on Fri 9 May (London) & Sat 10 May (Manchester).

We will cover travel expenses if you need to come from further afield! #communityenergy

So many of you have invested in our solar share offer and Paul Hallas from @se24.bsky.social is one of them.
If you agree with Paul, please invest before the closing date.

"Not just popular projects – they are a popular concept."

"62% of the public would support a community-owned renewable energy project in their area, compared to 40% support for a privately-owned project, according to polling by Common Wealth."

Will Labour's £1bn community energy gamble really pay off?
A new plan from Labour will see £1bn invested in community energy every year. Those working on the frontline say they still face barriers.

Since early 2024, community energy projects in England have benefited from a £10 million Government fund. But with the money set to run out in May, there is still no certainty over the fund’s future ...

In the last month our solar sites have produced 7,940.12 KWH of clean energy for schools and community buildings in South London.

That’s the equivalent of taking a petrol car off the road for 9,000 miles, planting around 90 trees or more than 100,000 cups of tea brewed!

🚨 Only 16% of students feel adults are doing enough on climate change. That's why we need action! Our programme is having an impact: 95% of teachers say it has influenced their school's climate response & schools saw an average 30% increase in carbon-reducing actions. #EduSky #climateeducation

The famous @adrianhiel.bsky.social / @mliebreich.bsky.social ladder re-used:

Interesting way of presenting energy flexibility opportunities focusing on CAPEX, effort, and potential for automation.

General line: home heating and EV charging are very well placed to provide flexibility already today.

🌏 From behaviour change to public consent for new renewable energy infrastructure, communities' buy-in is essential to the Government's plan for clean power by 2030. Community energy provides a route through these knotty challenges.
Community energy and low-income households
Community energy projects have existed for many years, but how do they fit in with the Government’s commitment to clean power by 2030 and can community energy really work for low-income households?

"A public health crisis that is entirely preventable".
Read our new research from @medact.bsky.social that shows how the high cost of energy is causing people to live in cold, damp, mouldy homes, causing an “entirely preventable public health crisis”. #housing #health

What is community energy? It’s local people owning and controlling renewable energy, lowering bills and tackling climate change.

We're supporting the Local Power Plan to help put power back in the hands of communities.

Have been asked I push community-owned energy so much. Not only is it popular and delivering immense value, but it helps build strong grassroots political networks. In a world of rapid change, economic extraction and political chaos, ownership and organising are two sides of an important coin
