Centre for Sustainable Energy Community Energy Go
Funded Project: Description
The aim of the project is to support community energy in England to grow and scale effectively. It will ensure that more vulnerable and future energy consumers are able to lead and benefit from locally-based initiatives that help communities to better understand own, manage, generate and save energy in their area.
They’ll do this by prototyping a support model for novice community energy actors, helping them to understand their options, build their capabilities and access feasibility funding though a dedicate project specific 1:1 support service, sign-posting to existing resources and group learning activities.
The project responds to the unpresented scale of ambition set-out in the government’s local power plan. Helping to ensure there is a pipeline of well thought-through projects ready for feasibility funding, that precious volunteer time is optimised, and that experienced community support actors are able to improve and scale their services.
