A practical guide to reclaiming power.
Community energy is key to a decarbonised economy and a crucial step in tackling climate change. This is about more than windmills and solar panels.
Community energy can help find a new balance between local economies and the global economy. It can help overcome the urban and rural divide, and close the gap between north and south, between rich and poor — because it empowers local people. Community energy leads to energy democracy, holding the promise of an economy and society based on co-operation rather than competition, within the boundaries of planet earth.
Whether you’re a curious individual, a group of people embarking on a renewable energy journey, a local authority making plans, or an up-and-running energy cooperative — this step-by-step guide is for you.
