Aims and objectives
This document provides recommendations for a framework to deliver
a support programme for the community energy sector across the
North East & Yorkshire (NEY) region. It makes recommendations to
develop a viable and sustainable model for integrating community
energy into the net zero delivery framework of the NEY region by
developing a three-year roadmap towards sector self-sustainability.
The document should be read in conjunction with the ‘Part 1 CENEY
Report’ which combines the status of the community energy sector
alongside a snapshot of net zero policymaking in NEY during 2022/23.
Accompanied within this document, as appendices, is a
SWOT analysis provided as part of the process to inform the
recommendations.
