Last week, we delivered our open letter at Westminster.
Community energy is one of the fairest ways to deliver the clean energy transition.
We welcome the ambition. Now Government must follow through on their plans and #UpTheEnergy!

Flexibility could cut UK power system costs by up to ยฃ125bn by 2050. โก๏ธ
New modelling from the Energy Systems Nexus shows that when high levels of flexibility are achieved, changing how and when electricity is used can dramatically lower costs, accelerate electrification, and stabilise the grid.

Iโve just got approval for a 14.4kW system on my Suffolk house, consisting of 28 off 515W panels and 2 off 6 kW inverters. Hardware cost at trade of the above is just ยฃ2,500. Add labour and overheads to that (the house is fully scaffolded atm anyway for exterior decoration). Unbelievable.
BHESCo have developed more than sixty #CommunityEnergy projects in and around #Sussex.

Let people get it done themselves! Councils don't like paying for things like this, they do however like fining people, and British people love reporting their neighbours to the council. People will install the most perfect gullies for fear of the wrath of Brenda at number 27 getting a ยฃ500 fine.
