Tuesday 25th March 2025 10.30 am to 4.00 pm
at Triodos Bank, Bristol
With £400m per annum in low interest loans to community energy groups included in the Labour Government’s Local Power Plan, we have a unique opportunity to deliver community energy at scale. Join us for this all day networking event where we will be exploring the question:
“how do we scale up to deliver around 20-30 times what has been achieved to date, every year, perhaps starting in late 2025?”
Presentations from experienced experts will highlight possibilities and we will hear about current projects which have the potential to be delivered nationally at scale. A buffet lunch will be provided and there will be plenty of opportunities for networking.
