Community Energy Fortnight

Spotlighting the sector

Community Energy Fortnight is an annual, nationwide campaign reaching thousands of people and involving hundreds of organisations and it is a great opportunity to make your organisation’s activities visible within the local community and show the rest of the sector, and important stakeholders, what community energy is all about.

Community Energy Fortnight 2026 runs from 1–14 July, and we’re excited to bring communities together across the country to celebrate and accelerate local climate action.

This year’s Fortnight is proudly supported by SP Energy Networks, Thrive Renewables, and Ethex, whose commitment helps power the growing community energy movement.

For 2026, Community Energy Fortnight is part of our national campaign, Up the Energy. Across these two weeks, we’ll be shining a spotlight on community-led energy through inspiring stories, local activities, and online events organised by our members.

Up the Energy is all about making community energy visible, practical, and achievable. By sharing real experiences and creating opportunities to get involved, we aim to equip communities with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to take meaningful climate action.

Toolkits and resources

We’ll be sharing templates, tools, and ready-made content to help you take part in this year’s Fortnight. Whether you’re planning a small activity or a larger campaign, we encourage everyone to create one story, one outsider quote, and one meaningful moment to celebrate and support the Fortnight. Download our comms pack today to find inspiration, guidance, and everything you need to get involved.

The Fortnight 2026 assets are also now available to download, including logos and email signatures, to help spread the word and let everyone know you’re taking part in this year’s Up the Energy Fortnight.

In the lead-up to the Fortnight, we’ll also be releasing a range of toolkits with ideas and resources to help you participate in different ways. We’d love to see communities organising events and activities over the coming weeks – and if you’re planning something, you can add your event to our Fortnight events calendar below.
