How is community ownership of renewables helping local economies to thrive?
You are warmly invited to our webinar on how community energy is having a real and positive impact on local, rural economies across Scotland.
We'll hear from Erin Rizzato from Equitable Energy Research who will highlight the key findings of their new report Social Value from Renewables in the Highlands and Islands, published this month by Platform.
We'll also be joined by Amanda Grimm, Policy Manager at Community Energy Scotland, who will present on the key shared ownership and community benefit demands ahead of the UK government consultation (closing 16th July).
Bring your lunch, and join us to learn how community energy can provide a real path towards a just transition for communities in Scotland.
This webinar is being organised in collaboration with Community Energy Scotland and the Highlands and Islands Climate Hub.
