Community Energy Ownership and Decentralised Solutions

As the energy landscape evolves, community energy ownership and decentralised energy solutions are emerging as powerful models for achieving a more sustainable and equitable energy future. This panel will explore how local communities are taking control of their energy needs through cooperative ownership of renewable energy projects such as solar and wind farms, microgrids, and peer-to-peer energy trading. 

Experts will discuss the social, economic, and environmental benefits of decentralised energy, including increased energy resilience, reduced carbon emissions, and local economic empowerment. Whilst also addressing the challenges of financing, policy support, and ensuring equitable access to clean energy for all communities, particularly marginalised and underserved populations.

Attendees will gain insights into the potential of decentralised energy to transform local economies and contribute to a more democratic, resilient, and low-carbon energy future.
