Powys Energy For All

This project aims to bring forward local energy for local people, where the benefits are felt by all in the community but specifically the most vulnerable. The project will work closely with communities where energy generation potential has been identified and will accelerate at least 3 of 5 sites from stage 1 to 4 (investment and build ready). All developments will be at least 50% community owned, and income from energy generation will be targeted on those most vulnerable in the community.     

Community capacity will be harnessed and developed, enabling greater community ownership, empowering them to have influence over energy generation and share in the economic benefits from it. They'll provide training and mentoring to give people the confidence and skills they need to engage in meetings and action groups and manage projects and events.

The project will scope for a selection of potential sites, taking forward the most viable sites, leaving a pipeline of potential projects communities could take forward after the project ends.
