Autumn Network Event 22nd Oct 2024 – Working Together to Accelerate Community Energy

A collaborative meeting with Bristol Energy Network and the South West Net Zero Hub

Thank you to all our facilitators who hosted workshops. There were some lively discussions and below we have summarised the notes from all of the workshops. The morning began with an open floor session where we had quickfire 1 minute introductions from everyone revealing a wide range of interests and experience across the room. We would like to collect these to share with the network. Please take a minute to send us your intros via this link.
