Carbon Budget 7 sets out a pathway towards an 87% reduction in emissions by 2040. Community energy will be key to making that happen.

Local projects can generate clean power, reduce bills and ensure the benefits of net zero are felt in communities across the UK.

The UK's exposure to global gas prices still drives what households and businesses pay. The real opportunity is local, community energy models that reduce volatility and keep value where it's generated.

Northern England has the foundations of a stronger community energy system, but delivery is still constrained by system structures. Community energy projects across wind, solar and upgraded sites are ready to move if conditions allow.https://t.co/7kr9RPCga8

Solar has set a new GB record estimating 14,414MW. A milestone for renewables, but an important message that community energy is still not scaling fast enough.

Too often, clean energy is wasted and communities miss out.

Community ownership and smarter local grids aren’t optional. Keeping power local delivers real value for towns across the UK.

Community-owned renewables do more than cut emissions. They bring people together, strengthen local resilience & give communities a real stake in the energy transition.
