Why we Need to Make Community Energy More Inclusive
Why We Need to Make Community Energy More Inclusive

If community energy is to be truly inclusive, which it has so much potential to be, then we need a diverse range of voices in the room to make the decisions. To do this, we must make it an accessible space that people can see a future in.

Key challenges for community energy

By far the best thing about my role at Younity is the amount of conversations I get to have with community energy practitioners across the UK. You can’t help but be inspired when you hear of the work they are doing and how they are battling against an antiquated energy system in order to ensure the move towards a sustainable, low carbon future is equitable, operated by and for the communities in which they sit.
