For community energy to thrive it needs a whole sector of skilled workers making our homes and communities greener. Join us to meet some of the incredible co-ops whose workers are driving this vital energy transition.

About this webinar

You might think community energy is just about local people owning solar panels, but there’s so much more to it! There is a wealth of co-operatives out there who employ, connect, and train incredible people in the Community Energy sector, from making homes more energy efficient through retrofit, educating people on carbon literacy, and so much technical expertise and knowledge. Year on year, the number of jobs in community energy is growing, alongside an incredible number of dedicated volunteers who are all helping democratise energy for their community’s benefit. 

Join us for a free lunchtime webinar that spotlights some excellent co-ops whose workers are vital in the community energy mission of putting people at the centre of the energy transition. If you’re curious about climate action, community work, or co-ops, then this webinar will definitely pique your interest in this ever-expanding sector.   

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.
