BY 2030, EVERY COMMUNITY IN THE UK WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A LOCAL ENERGY PROJECT
WE WANT THIS TO BE AN ENABLER FOR COMMUNITIES TO GO OUT AND DO WHAT THEY DO BEST – SHAPE THEIR FUTURE ON BEHALF OF LOCAL PEOPLE
​
Britain’s drive for clean energy is about answering the call for a different kind of economy that works for the many, not just the wealthy and powerful in our society.
​
Local and community energy is at the heart of our government’s vision. We refuse to accept that the days when Britain owned things are in the past. That is why we set up Great British Energy (GBE), the UK’s first new publicly owned energy company in 70 years, to ensure the British people can own and benefit from our natural energy resources.

BIOMETHANE
To REPowerEU and decarbonise the economy, the EU has to set an ambitious, but realistic, target to produce 35 billion m2 of biomethane per year by 2030.
​
Ireland has a real opportunity to develop a biomethane industry at scale. Gas Networks Energy is working with Government and industry partners to deliver their own Climate Action targets by replacing approximately 10% of the country's current gas demand with Biomethane by 2030.
​
Watch the video using the link below, from the European Commission to learn more about how Biomethane can help reduce our carbon emissions, enhance our security of supply, and boost the rural economy.

MOBILISING THE IMPACT ECONOMY AS PARTNERS IN NATIONAL RENEWAL
Government’s Plan for Change sets out an ambitious agenda for a decade of national renewal. The Civil Society Covenant and Pride in Place Strategy commit to deep collaboration between government, civil society and the impact economy, and places as a means to deliver on that ambition, recognising that lasting renewal must be built with, not just for, communities. This report offers a practical roadmap for how government can put that commitment into practice – steps for creating a more strategic partnership with the impact economy to drive inclusive growth across the UK.
