A comprehensive book that provides information and guidance for anyone interested in setting up and running a community energy project.
Packed with useful information, this is an essential resource for anyone thinking of setting up and running a community energy project.
'Community energy' is often seen as simply groups of people setting up wind turbines or hydroelectric schemes, yet there's actually a lot more going on in the range of activities that community energy groups are involved in, and the impact these have.
Community Energy provides an overview of the role of community renewable energy projects in the UK, examining the history of community renewable projects and the different types of project that have been successful and unsuccessful. An engaging and informative guide, it covers an introduction to renewable energy projects, information on why they matter and ways to get involved, and different scales and types of project. It also includes case studies and financial and legal tips on how to generate income from the project, as well as guidance on policy and planning permission.
Community Energy is a handy resource for anyone thinking of embarking on a community renewables project as well being a useful source of information for people in the renewables industry and policy makers at all levels of government.
