A clear, engaging guide to community energy that:
- Explains what community energy is and why it matters

- Highlights its wide-ranging social, environmental, and economic benefit
- Shows how it can shape a decentralised, democratic, low-carbon energy system
- Created collaboratively by sector experts and freely available with supporting visuals and slides
Creating the 2030 Vision
We developed the 2030 Vision through three consultation stages (an event at our summer conference, a roundtable of key practitioners, a survey with 48 respondents), plus informal input from practitioners and stakeholders.
Their insights shaped an accessible, visually engaging document for a broad audience (from MPs and community groups to network operators and investors) to understand community energy and its role in a fair, low-carbon future.
Thanks to our funders Power to Change and Friends Provident Foundation for funding, Jolt Studio for design, Helen Horton for copywriting, and .
