Seeking specialised support and advice to kickstart your energy project in Cheshire or Warrington?

Welcome to the Cheshire & Warrington Community Energy Masterclass Programme, an exciting series of 5 workshops designed to upskill community energy groups, stakeholders and those starting their energy journey in key areas, such as energy project development and management, community governance, energy system design, and business planning.

Ultimately, this programme is designed to help you and your organisation navigate the complexities of energy development, and to secure the support and funding required to make your energy ideas a reality.

Masterclass 1 covers Community Energy in 2026. We will look at:

· What does the community energy sector look like in the UK today?

· What are the main opportunities and challenges present for communities looking to develop energy projects?

· Which low carbon technologies are most suitable for communities and how is deployment evolving today?

· How is the government supporting community energy groups today and in the future?

Masterclass sessions are hosted by community energy experts Scene, on behalf of Enterprise Cheshire & Warrington (working on behalf of Cheshire East Council, Cheshire West & Chester Council and Warrington Council), in coordination with the North West Net Zero Hub.

These sessions are tailored to provide expert support to both new, and established community energy groups and are open to anyone interested in energy or actively developing their own energy projects for the benefit of their communities across Cheshire and Warrington.
