Connecting you to community energy
This map represents the most comprehensive dataset of community energy groups, projects and their locations, that we know to exist nationally. A large amount of data in this map is internal to CEE and has been collated through our annual State of Sector Reports; we would like to thank Community Energy Scotland for helping us collate this data. Thanks also to the Net Zero Hubs for helping us collate project information for the projects funded through the Rural Community Energy Fund (now closed). For more information on data, please email info@communityenergyengland.org.
The map's data includes:
- National community energy projects, known through Community Energy England's membership and Annual State of the Sector Reports.
- Projects funded through the recently closed Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF), the UK government programme supporting community energy.
Please note: This map is currently in development and does not yet contain all community energy data. If you spot any errors in the map please do get in touch with us at info@communtyenergyengland.org.
