In East Lothian and across Scotland there is so much potential for renewables, but communities aren't getting enough of the benefit. We need action to ensure that every community can share in the benefits of clean, affordable energy. #UpTheEnergy

East Lothian Greens have signed the #UpTheEnergy open letter calling on the UK Government and GB Energy to unlock and enable more community-owned energy.

As @commenergyengland.bsky.social CEO Emma Bridge says:

"This is a huge opportunity to bring together community enterprises, communities and local authorities to look at ways to bring benefits to their local areas from the way that we generate and use our energy."

Government backs local and community energy with historic investment The Local Power Plan will deliver “the biggest public investment in community energy in this country’s history” with £1 billion invested over this parliament.

If delivered well, the cumulative impact of the #LocalPowerPlan could be truly transformational for our energy system.
