Webinar: Discover Co-ops – community energy at scale

About this webinar

To round out our series of Discover Co-ops community energy webinars, funded by The Co-operative Bank, we’re focusing on the ways that community energy can grow. What starts off as local people coming together to reclaim energy generation for themselves can soon become a sizeable operation generating hundreds of homes worth of energy. With a £68.5 million turnover from the sector and £24.5 million contributed to local economies by community energy organisations in 2024 according to Community Energy England, it’s impossible to ignore the power of community energy. 

Whether you’re curious about co-ops, the climate, or community energy, this free webinar will enable you learn about this amazing sector. With talks from amazing speakers, you’ll leave knowing how powerful community energy co-ops can be.
