FEL Scotland (Forth Environment Link) COMMUNITY ENERGY EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM (CEEP)
Funded Project: Description
The project will support vulnerable communities in Forth Valley and Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park by delivering practical, energy-saving solutions that directly address fuel poverty. Through targeted awareness and engagement activities, energy advice sessions, and the development of energy-saving plans, the project will provide immediate relief to those at risk.
Local Energy Officers and Volunteer Energy Activators will work directly with individuals, ensuring support is tailored and accessible. A Community Energy Skills Academy will empower residents with skills in energy efficiency and will offer training and tools to community groups, addressing the needs of energy consumers in vulnerable situations and providing practical, long-term energy solutions.
The project will also demonstrate sustainable energy practices through community energy partnerships, ensuring that where communities share similar issues, they can be supported to work collaboratively on energy solutions.
