About this webinar

To round out our amazing series of Community Energy webinars, 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. 

This webinar is part of a series of Discover Co-ops Webinars, funded by The Cooperative Bank. Join us for these webinars during Community Energy Fortnight to learn about this expanding sector with people and the planet at the heart of it.
