Generating energy from renewable sources and distributing it to the community provides a clear means of reducing carbon emissions.
Local renewable energy generation benefits the immediate community by reducing the dependence on fossil fuels and directly contributes towards achieving net zero carbon targets.
We can provide information and advice on installing renewable energy to local authorities, businesses and community groups. We’ve also developed a number of tools for businesses looking to engage and add value to their renewable energy services and increase customer engagement.
