Communities invited to shape local renewable energy projects

Bath & North East Somerset Council is inviting communities to explore the potential for locally

owned renewable energy projects.

The Energy in Your Community project is seeking three communities interested in developing

small-scale renewable energy - such as solar farms or wind turbines - owned and operated by

the community for long-term local benefit.

Selected groups will work with expert partners to explore energy needs, share ideas, and

discover what types of renewables could work in their area. There are no fixed plans - just open

conversations guided by what matters locally.

Register your interest by 5pm, Friday 1 August.

This work is part of the three-year Community Energy Network, funded by a £1.5m award from The National Lottery Climate Action Fund. The Council is working in partnership with Bath & West Community Energy, the Centre for Sustainable Energy, and the University of Bath to support the growth of 5MW of community-owned renewable generation by 2030.
