Power for People

With the success of our article giving an overview of the community energy sector, we have decided to devote a series of features to the community energy sector in the UK. The sector was recently described to me by one community energy group as a ‘coiled spring’, full of passionate people with lots of experience of developing projects, which just needs the right support to really take off. So what are the obstacles currently impeding this potential growth?

Nonprofit advocacy organisation People for Power says that 127 Conservative MPs, around a third of the parliamentary party, back its calls for community energy reforms as part of the Energy Bill. 

​Good Energy and Power for People have called on MPs to support the Local Electricity Bill, in an effort to spark a community energy revolution as part of new campaign.

​The Local Electricity Bill has been successfully introduced, following its presentation to government under the Ten Minute Rule yesterday (10 June).
