More听communities听across the UK听will听own听be able to own听and control听their own听clean听energy听projects, building community wealth and power听through the听government鈥檚听mission to take back control of听the country鈥檚 energy and make听people better off.听听

Great British Energy and government are tomorrow听(10听February) publishing the Local Power Plan, backed by听funding听of听up to听拢1 billion,听to听help support听locally-owned听clean energy generation projects such as solar听on听community buildings听like听libraries, leisure听centres听and听miners鈥� welfare听clubs.听

The plan听delivers听the biggest public investment in community energy in this country鈥檚听history.听Ownership听is a transformative tool to build the wealth of local areas鈥攇iving people a stake in the places they live and generating pride, respect and local prosperity that听can鈥檛听be dismantled.听听

Community ownership is already transforming听Britain, through听community owned pubs, leisure centres and libraries; in the UK鈥檚 thousands of cooperative businesses听and its proud cooperative movement; and in the pioneering community energy projects from Lawrence Weston in Bristol to the Isle of Skye Cooperative in the Hebrides to Westmill in Oxfordshire to the Geraint Thomas Velodrome in Wales.听听

Community听owned energy is the norm in other countries.听In Germany,听for example, around two-fifths of installed renewable energy generation capacity is citizen-owned.听But despite its听huge potential, for too long community energy in this country has been held back by a lack of funding,听advice听and听central听government support.听听

The Local Power Plan听is a transformative strategy to unleash the untapped dynamism,听resources听and enthusiasm of our communities, backed by up to 拢1 billion of funding from Great British Energy to support local projects that will cut bills and grow community wealth.听

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said:听

Britain鈥檚 drive for clean energy is about answering the call for a听different听kind of economy that works for the many, not just the wealthy and powerful in our society. Local and community energy is at the heart of our government鈥檚 vision.听听

With the biggest ever investment in community energy in Britain鈥檚 history, this government is saying to every local community: we want you to be able to own and control clean energy so the profits flow into your community not simply out to the big energy companies.听

By giving local听people听the chance to take control of their energy, this government is听making听a fundamental choice to transfer wealth and power back to communities across Britain.

Minister for Devolution, Faith and Communities, Miatta Fahnbulleh, said:听听

Strong communities are the backbone of our society. When they鈥檙e thriving, we are all better for it.听

Our Pride in Place programme backs communities with the tools and funding they need so that community centres can be built for neighbours to meet, football pitches can be maintained for local teams to play, and young people can pick up hobbies and make lifelong friends.听

The Local Power Plan takes this further 鈥� empowering communities by giving them ownership of their own clean energy and keeping the wealth it generates right where it belongs.

Great British Energy CEO Dan McGrail said:听

Communities are at the heart of Great British Energy鈥檚 mission. Local and community projects create cleaner, more听secure听and more affordable energy for our communities.听听

We are investing听up to听拢1 billion into听community and听local听energy projects so that people up and down the country can feel the benefit of public ownership with purpose.听

The government is building clean-homegrown power at every scale - from community owned projects to major large-scale infrastructure. Last month delivered a record-breaking offshore wind auction, and tomorrow the results for new solar and onshore wind projects will be confirmed - taking back control of Britain鈥檚 energy system and putting the British people at the heart of it.听

Great British Energy aims to support听an initial听1,000 clean energy projects, helping to deliver clean power by 2030 while improving energy security for the whole country and protecting billpayers.听The projects will be developed and led by communities or local government who best know how to deliver for their area or alternatively allow people to buy shares in nearby larger-scale renewable projects.听

Research has found that community听energy听groups play a key role听reinvesting revenues听locally, and that people鈥痠nvolved in community energy activities reported feeling a greater sense of community pride, empowerment, and cohesion.听Meanwhile听community-owned projects tend to support more jobs than non-locally owned projects听and can boost听local听employment locally.听

This is part of government鈥檚 plan to double the co-operative sector to support communities to thrive.听It comes alongside the government鈥檚 拢5 billion Pride in Place programme that, following the announcement to expand the programme last week,听will see听284听communities across the UK take control of 拢20 million each over the next decade, to invest in local priorities like creating new green spaces and reinvigorating high streets.听

Great British Energy is听already听kicking听off this work, so far听investing听in:听

• 拢5 million for new community energy projects in England听-听53听projects have now been approved from听solar panels on places of worship in Leicestershire, to a solar farm in Wiltshire听and听heritage buildings in Rotherham
• over听拢16听million for听Mayoral Strategic Authorities听in England听supporting听renewable energy听projects听from leisure centres to fire stations听听
• 拢21.5听million for听community听and public sector听energy projects in听Scotland,听Wales听and Northern Ireland

Meanwhile the company, alongside match funding from听government,听has invested 拢255 million to enable over 250 schools, around 260 NHS sites, and听multiple听military sites in England to increase their renewable energy and reduce their energy bills.听听

The Local Power Plan will help address barriers听currently听holding back听many听community energy projects听鈥撎齱hich range from听financial听and听regulatory听to听lack of commercial or technical听expertise.听

People can express their interest in funding and advice on building clean energy projects in their town or village through Great British Energy which is becoming a 鈥渙ne stop shop鈥� for local energy. This marks a more joined-up and comprehensive offer to support the delivery of community energy projects across the听UK.听

Great British Energy听and government听plan to听boost community energy ownership听through:听

• direct funding听-听strategically investing听up to听拢1 billion in community energy groups, and local authorities听including via grants and loans. The schemes will听launch later this year.听Grants will be targeted听at听underserved听areas听or听where听there听has historically been low take up of community energy.听
• capability building听- building听up the capacity and skills听required听for the sector, acting as a co-ordinator for community energy groups and local government.听Individuals will also be able to get advice from Great British Energy on setting up clean energy projects听
• business model development听-听developing听investable business models, with the community energy sector, to reduce reliance on grant funding and increase self-sustainability
• regulatory changes听-听consulting on whether听to mandate听the offer of shared ownership听of clean energy projects听and听collaborating听with听the regulators听on how听to make it easier to share generated power听locally

Great British Energy will continue working with devolved governments in Scotland,听Wales听and Northern Ireland听to听complement existing support and听identify听new opportunities for collaboration.听

GBE is also partnering with听authorities听in England to support renewable energy across their regions. The first partnerships are with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority,听Devon & Torbay Combined County听Authority, East听Midlands Combined County Authority,听Greater London Authority,听Greater Manchester听Combined Authority, North East Combined Authority, West Midlands Combined Authority, West of England Combined Authority, West Yorkshire听Combined听Authority,听and York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.听听听听

Emma Bridge, Chief Executive of Community Energy England, said:听听

Community Energy England welcomes the announcement of 拢1 billion听for local and community energy, which will unleash the sector to grow exponentially again. By harnessing the passion,听expertise听and money of local people, this investment will deliver community benefit, bill savings, local听jobs听and energy justice.听听

The Local Power Plan is听an important step听to putting people and community energy at the heart of the energy transformation. We look forward to working closely with听Great British听Energy and the government on detailed investment and delivery programmes so that our members can scale this work as soon as possible.

Zoe Holliday, Chief Executive of Community Energy Scotland, said:

We welcome the Local Power Plan鈥檚 vision for every community in the UK to have the opportunity to own an energy project. This vision will only be achieved through partnership working, and the Plan is a public pledge by GBE and UK government to work together with each other, devolved听governments听and all other relevant stakeholders to address existing barriers and maximise opportunities.听听

Community Energy Scotland is committed to working with听all of听these partners and our members to ensure that communities in Scotland are in the best possible position to take forward new projects and to experience the transformational impact that energy ownership has on communities.听

Leanne Wood, Co-executive Director of Community Energy Wales, said:听

It鈥檚 great to see the huge, untapped potential of Community Energy recognised in the Local Power Plan, with material commitments to make sure local people and places can lead a fair transition to a low carbon energy system across the UK.

Ben Ferguson, Co-executive Director of Community Energy Wales, said:听听

Our members in Wales are ready to grow their ambition with this support from Great British Energy, welcoming and supporting new and emerging community energy enterprises to participate in the transformative benefits of community ownership of distributed and democratising energy technology.听

Anne Ford,听Spokesperson听for听Community Energy Northern听Ireland, said:听听

Community Energy Northern Ireland welcomes the launch of the听Great British听Energy Local Power Plan.听

This听provides听a real opportunity to build awareness of the role that groups of citizens in this region can play in shaping our energy future and bringing more community energy enterprises to fruition.听听

We look forward to working with Great British Energy, to grow engagement, share knowledge and build resilience in this critical sector.

Sadiq Khan,听Mayor of London, said:听听

Community energy has been at the heart of my approach to delivering cleaner, greener energy for Londoners and helping to cut bills. GB Energy鈥檚 commitment to supporting community and local energy generation through the Local Power Plan is welcome.听听

From places of worship and social clubs to community centres听we鈥檝e听seen how community owned and led projects help keep energy affordable and ensure the benefits are shared fairly across our city. This听new support听will help our city鈥檚 vibrant community energy sector continue to grow, and Londoners are ready to step up, and play a powerful role in building a cleaner,听fairer听and more resilient energy system for everyone.

Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester,听said:听听听

This investment puts communities at the heart of Greater Manchester鈥檚 clean energy transition. By backing locally owned renewable energy, we can cut bills, strengthen energy resilience, and keep the benefits of clean power in our neighbourhoods.听听

Our partnership with Great British Energy supports our ambition to become a carbon neutral city region by 2038, and to build a fairer, greener future for our communities and businesses.

Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, said:听

Investing in clean, green energy means slashing people鈥檚 bills, powering up our communities and businesses, and boosting the number of jobs in our booming green sector.听听

This new partnership builds on the strong relationship听we鈥檝e听built with GB Energy, which is backing renewable energy projects across our region and helping us deliver real change for West Yorkshire.听听

From improving the energy efficiency of over 5,000 social homes, to helping over 2,000 businesses green their processes and save on bills, we鈥檙e working with government to tackle the cost of living and the climate crisis head-on.听

Claire Ward, Mayor of the East Midlands, said:听听

The transition away from polluting fossil fuels will lower energy costs and create good local jobs: the things that matter to our residents and businesses.听听

By working together with Great British Energy, we鈥檙e turning our growth ambitions into real projects that deliver for people and places across the East Midlands.

Today, we have many active community energy groups working to develop clean energy projects, and we are well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities that clean and renewable energy projects can offer.

Paul Bristow, Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, said:听听

I welcome this partnership with Great British Energy, which strengthens our ambition set out in the Local Growth Plan to make Cambridgeshire and Peterborough the UK鈥檚 fastest鈥慻rowing local economy.听听

We look forward to working with GBE to听identify听projects so that communities can听benefit听from this funding and enable investment in the priorities that matter most.听I鈥檓听excited about the growth and opportunity this will unlock for our region.听

David听Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, said:听听

Communities should be truly at the heart of local energy projects, making sure everyone听benefits听from cleaner, greener energy. York and North Yorkshire听has听the knowledge,听resources听and ambition to change how we produce energy and heat our homes.听听

Working side by side with Great British Energy, we can get more community energy projects off the ground, strengthening our push to be England鈥檚 first carbon negative region by 2040. This is the largest public investment in community energy in our history.听It鈥檚听time to harness our region鈥檚 strengths to lower bills and clean up our air.听

Phil听Witcherley, Director of Economic Growth & Innovation at the听North East听Combined Authority,听said:听听听

This partnership with Great British Energy is a welcome recognition of the North East鈥檚 role as the home of the UK鈥檚 green energy revolution.听We鈥檝e听already made great strides by installing solar panels on schools so they can cut energy bills meaning they have more to spend in other ways, like on breakfast and after school clubs.听听

This is about making sure our communities are benefitting from our green ambitions as we seek to accelerate our local energy generation, grow our offshore wind sector, and double the North East鈥檚 entire green energy workforce to 50,000 jobs by 2035.

Steven Agnew, Head of Policy at听RenewableUK, said:听听听

Developers are already collaborating successfully with communities on projects such as the Lawrence Weston wind turbine in Bristol. The involvement of Great British Energy will help more communities take advantage of these opportunities.听

Supporting local communities to generate their own clean power will allow them to benefit directly from renewables whilst enabling them to play a key role in strengthening our energy security. As these new projects come online, they will push more expensive gas generation off the system, cutting electricity bills for everyone.听

Claire Mack, Chief Executive of Scottish Renewables, said:听

Scotland has a proud legacy of community energy, especially across our rural and island communities. These projects deliver meaningful local benefits while providing an important contribution to our national energy security.听听

Our industry looks forward to working with GB Energy to empower more communities with the opportunity of renewable energy.听

Jess Hooper, Director of听RenewableUK听Cymru said:听

Wales is already leading the way on locally owned renewable energy, with the Welsh Government committed to delivering 1.5GW of locally owned renewable capacity by 2030.听听

By supporting communities to generate and own their own clean power, we can strengthen听Wales鈥櫶齟nergy security, reduce reliance on expensive imported gas, and ensure that the energy transition delivers lasting benefits for people and communities across Wales.

Mark Richardson, Director of听RenewableNI, said:听

We welcome the commitment to investment in Northern Ireland through the Local Power Plan. Support for community-led renewable projects can help build on what is already working here, giving communities the confidence and capacity to play a greater role in delivering clean, secure energy for the region.听

Community-owned and community-backed projects strengthen energy security and deliver skilled jobs across rural and urban areas alike. By anchoring investment locally, they help听retain听value in the regional economy while supporting apprenticeships, maintenance听roles听and long-term operational employment.

Dhara Vyas, Chief Executive of Energy UK, said:听听

This clear commitment to giving communities the advice, capacity and support they need to develop more local power projects is听an important step听forward. Strong local partnerships between businesses, the public sector and communities are crucial to deliver our shared ambitions of lower bills and cleaner energy, while giving communities a more meaningful role in shaping the future of their area.听

Energy companies across the UK already work closely with customers and communities to deliver low-carbon solutions, and this backing from Great British Energy and the UK government will help crowd in private capital, giving investors and communities the confidence to go further and faster while supporting jobs, lowering whole-system costs, and growing the UK鈥檚 clean energy industries.

Chris Hewett, CEO of Solar Energy UK, said:鈥�鈥�听听

Investing听拢1 billion听to put solar, battery storage and other renewables into the heart of our communities is another welcome move from the government.听听

It will help slash public sector energy bills, while keeping vital assets such as village halls above water. Our members stand ready to advise community energy companies and deliver their projects.

Mike Thornton, Chief Executive of Energy Saving Trust said:听听听

Today鈥檚 publication of the Local Power Plan puts community energy at the centre of Great British Energy鈥檚 work to deliver clean power. The ambition for every community to have an opportunity to own or be involved in a local energy project by 2030 will give people genuine agency in the energy transition, directly driving benefits back to local areas whilst supporting climate action.听听

We look forward to working with the UK government and听Great British听Energy to help develop the comprehensive support and financial backing communities will need to ensure they can benefit from the clean energy transition.

Merlin Hyman OBE, Chief Executive, Regen, said:听听

Across Britain there are inspiring examples of communities generating their own clean energy and keeping the revenues locally to reinvest in the places they care about. The Local Power Plan sets out a vital agenda to enable many more communities to听participate听in this way.听听

We welcome the ambition and commitment to investing in putting people at the heart of the energy transition and look forward to working with Great British Energy to deliver this groundbreaking vision.听

Afsheen Kabir Rashid, Chief Executive of Repowering London, said:听

Finally, we are being heard after years of being side-lined. This is a welcome investment and recognition that communities have the power to unlock the UK鈥檚 pathway to a clean energy future putting money directly into people鈥檚 pockets through reduced bills, quality听jobs听and meaningful local investment.听

We look forward to working with government to develop and grow the Repowered Community model and ensure the transition to clean energy is fair, inclusive and truly community led.

John Millen, a Director of High Winds Community Energy Society who lives within view of their wind turbines, said:听听

High Winds Community Energy Society shows what鈥檚 possible when a community owns its own renewable energy. We manage five community owned wind turbines just outside Ulverston in Cumbria. This is the largest 100% community-owned wind project in England.听听

The income the turbines generate funds local energy-saving and fuel poverty initiatives and helps sustain other vital local organisations. It isn鈥檛 a token听gesture,听it鈥檚 long-term support built into our society鈥檚 objectives.听

Henrik听Micski, a Director of Isle of Skye Renewables Co-op, said:听听

Community energy projects such as the Isle of Skye Renewables Co-op demonstrate that community ownership in local energy projects can support a cost-effective energy transition, whilst ensuring that local energy projects deliver real benefits to those who live locally to energy infrastructure.听听

Since 2008 the听IoSRC听has distributed more than 拢1.5 million to coop members and local community energy, energy efficiency and sustainability projects, creating a virtuous circle of investment in the energy transition.

Zach Wishart, a Director of North Lincolnshire Community Energy, said:听听

Since launching just three years ago, North Lincolnshire Community Energy has installed solar PV panels on 23 buildings across Scunthorpe and the surrounding area, the majority schools.听听

Working with North Lincolnshire Council, we听leveraged听an initial grant and made the money go much further by raising over 拢1,350,000 from community shares. In the last three years听we鈥檝e听saved our host sites more than 拢300,000 on their energy bills and expect this to keep increasing for years to come.听听

We are also actively part of a positive movement for education on sustainability, running workshops at our host sites and a wider outreach programme.听

Mark Pepper, Development Manager of Ambition Lawrence Weston, said:听

This is fantastic and exciting news. Now many more communities can benefit just like we have, by owning our own energy producing asset.听But this is more than just providing us with our own sustainable income, it also gives us a stake in the energy marking instead of being passive consumers. It gives us pride of our place and helps us to do our bit to improve the climate.听It鈥檚听a win, win, win. If we can do it, so can other communities.听

Phil Williams, Operations Director of Cambrian Village Trust, said:听

Cambrian Village Trust鈥檚 journey from black to green honours our mining heritage while shaping a sustainable future. Our former coal tips are now a vibrant Country Park, home to walks, wildlife, and a community caf茅 powered by our own micro鈥慼ydro system.听听

By generating renewable energy on our doorstep,听we鈥檙e听creating community wealth that people see and feel every day - from solar panels running our buildings and EVs to surplus power supporting wider networks.听听

Working with Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council on a second hydro scheme, our vision is to create Wales鈥檚 first fully self鈥憇ustaining football ground, proving that community energy can transform even the most deprived areas for the benefit of all.
