Developing Community Energy Locally

In this podcast we interview Duncan Law about the importance of community energy in local planning around climate change

In North London there is much controversy over the Edmonton Incinerator and their claim that using waste to make heat is a form of community energy. But is it and what really is community energy.

Well in this podcast we will be joined by Duncan Law the Policy and Advocacy Manager of Community Energy England to discuss community energy and its contribution to tackling climate change.

Community Energy England represents and supports those committed to creating the conditions within which the community energy sector can rapidly scale and grow across the country. Community energy includes the delivery of community renewables, energy efficiency, demand reduction and energy supply projects.

In this podcast we will discuss how community energy has developed in other parts of the UK and how it can do that in Enfield. Together with the help of Community Energy England it would be great to develop a Community Energy group in Enfield as part of the Enfield Climate Action Forum.

Local and community energy is becoming increasingly important and it seems essential that it should be included in any local authorities climate action plan
