On the path to net zero: community energy

Are there public buildings in your community, like schools or sports clubs, that could have solar PV panels on the roof? Or do you have a natural resource nearby, like a river

Solar power

Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert

Community Solar Power Generation

The funding supports eligible community groups to consider options, design schemes and overcome barriers to investment.

Community Solar: Strategies and Implementation for Sustainability

Internationally, community solar has been established by setting standard rates and contracts for power that enable community-owned power systems (a feed-in tariff).

Reclaiming power: The rapid rise of community renewable energy

In 2010 a feed-in tariff (FIT) system of support for small-scale renewable energy generation was introduced and falling prices of solar PV meant that these systems became

Small-Scale Renewable Electricity Generation

A scheme to support the deployment of small-scale renewable electricity generators was identified as a key action to deliver on the Climate Action Plan 2023 (CAP23)

Small Community-Owned Projects Could Be the Future of Solar

Spurred on by a drastic decline of 82 percent over nine years in the cost of solar panel installations, community-led energy projects are now generating enough electricity to
