Great day yesterday discussing how we can scale up the community energy sector to build towards our net-zero future! ⚑️

We talked challenges and milestones in our energy advice service, plus how we can ensure nobody is left behind in the energy transition.

Home energy improvement guide A comprehensive and user-friendly resource for Surrey households on their journey to a more energy efficient, comfortable and healthy home.

A great guide from @surreycc.gov.uk to advise residents on how to decarbonise their homes. Looks pretty useful for people who don't live in Surrey as well.....

Happy New Year!
2024 was a great year for CEB - we formed a core group, registered our Community Benefit Society, made connections around Barnet and ran feasibility studies on our first sites!
We're excited to go further in 2025, especially to recruit members and get projects off the ground πŸ’š

I believe that small-scale community renewable projects are not eligible for contracts for difference?

So interesting. A question: if electricity prices fall significantly, will renewable projects still be viable, given installation costs need to be recovered?
