Community energy - where are we now? The State of the Sector in Scotland

For the first time, Community Energy Scotland have joined forces with Community Energy England and Wales in launching a UK wide ‘state of the sector’ survey.

Following the UK launch event of the State of the Sector report on 23rd June, this event will to dig deeper into the state of the sector in Scotland.

Join us to discuss the challenges and opportunities for Scottish community energy in a time of covid and climate crisis. While the state of the sector report can be read at your leisure, the panel discussion will be a chance to discuss the issues directly with the communities behind the statistics.

There will also be a brief presentation from Community Energy Scotland on the findings of the state of the sector report, and a contribution from Community Land Scotland on how. through community land ownership and linking with other community struggles, we can make all of our movements stronger.

Joining details will be sent closer to the event date.
