South East London Community Energy Southeast Social Solar Scale Up
Funded Project: Description
This project aims to accelerate the development of community owned renewable energy; scaling up both community owned renewable generation as well as the social benefits of the net zero energy transition for South East London.
They will deliver technical feasibility development work for 5 community owned renewable energy sites, progressing them from stage 2 to 4; ready for community share offer and installation.
The project is designed to maximise benefit flows to their Fuel Poverty fund, that powers the energy advice service, workshops, and in-home efficiency interventions they deliver to help energy consumers in vulnerable situations in South East London (over 4,000 households supported to date).
Demonstrating that a rapid scale up of capacity and capability can unlock future self-financing of feasibility and a long term, rolling fuel poverty fund to benefit energy consumers in vulnerable situations in a self sustaining, strategic manner.
