Following our conference ‘Unlocking Community Energy at Scale’ in March 2025 we have launched a number of working groups to develop these ideas and grow the community energy sector. Working groups will be organised independently by the leader of each group and will share learning/developments with the network via the newsletter and WCEN meetings.
If you would like to join any of the working groups please sign up via this link. If you would like to start up a new working group please contact wessexnetwork@cse.org.uk with details.
