Incubating the next generation of community energy leaders
We are organising for an energy transition from the community level up. By centering people’s needs over external developers profits, we are supporting an already thriving movement in building a decentralized, socially just renewable energy transition and the direct local benefits it brings.
Community energy started as movement away from centralised power and privatisation of energy infrastructure. We exist to help bring movement and community together to repower ourselves and a new generation of energy leaders.
Some renewables are being built wrong
- and it’s fueling those wanting to stop the energy transition
Renewable infrastructure is essential to ensure secure and affordable energy, but so are communities.
The domination of utility scale projects, driven by profit and imposed on communities, is putting the energy transition in danger. Through cooperative and communal renewable projects we regain energy sovereignty while creating economic benefits that stay local.
Energy communities are an important part of the solution. But, they face challenges: from being perceived too technical or bureaucratic, to not being of interest to younger people, to a lack of funding and accessibility.
This is where we come in.
It is time to take energy
into our own hands.
By bringing our movement experience; organising practices, workshops and creative interventions we aspire to leveraging the social and cultural potential of energy communities and repower the movement from which they emerged. To strengthen existing ones, create new ones and build out a new generation of energy leaders.
