The UK is moving rapidly to reduce carbon emissions from energy generation. This month, 66% of UK energy came from zero-carbon sources. See here for the full detail.
We are working with Shropshire Climate Action to improve community resilience in respect of renewable energy for community spaces. This will use battery storage to allow for heating and coolinig of venues and enable a ‘digital focus’ for communities. The latter is important as the UK energy supply need are only just being met by generation during the summer.
We are also making representations regarding the making of the new Shropshire Local PLan by the Council, to try to strengthen the focus on renewables as part of planning policy. See here to keep track of this long and convoluted process.
Finally, Great British Energy is starting to make announcements about its approach to developing the community energy sector. See here for more information.
