Across the UK, communities are stepping up to take control of their energy future. From micro solar farms to rooftop solar on community buildings community energy is helping cut carbon, reduce bills and reinvest back into the places where people live.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why Neston Community Energy is proud to support the Up the Energy<\/a> campaign \u2014 a national call for stronger support for community energy and the removal of barriers that are slowing local projects down.<\/p>\n Led by Community Energy England and partners across the sector, the campaign aims to unlock the full potential of community energy across the UK.<\/p>\n Community energy groups are already delivering real benefits \u2014 generating renewable power, reducing household bills and reinvesting income into local projects and services. But many community-led schemes are still held back by policy and regulatory barriers.<\/p>\n The campaign is calling on the UK Government to take practical steps to ensure communities can play a central role in the clean energy transition.<\/p>\n The campaign highlights several key changes that would help community energy grow and deliver more benefits locally:<\/p>\n These changes would help communities generate more renewable energy, reduce costs and ensure the benefits stay local.<\/p>\n Community energy is about more than just electricity. When energy projects are locally owned, the benefits stay in the community.<\/p>\n Across the UK, community energy groups are already:<\/p>\n It\u2019s a model that strengthens both local resilience and the national energy system.<\/p>\n The UK Government has recently committed \u00a31 billion to community energy through the Local Power Plan<\/strong>, a significant step that shows growing recognition of the sector\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n But funding alone isn\u2019t enough. To unlock projects at scale, communities need fair market conditions, better grid access and long-term support.<\/p>\n The Up the Energy campaign brings together hundreds of organisations calling for exactly that \u2014 turning ambition into action so communities can help power the UK\u2019s clean energy future.<\/p>\n If you believe communities should be at the heart of the energy transition, there are several ways you can help:<\/p>\n Together we can ensure the transition to clean energy is fair, local and community-led, because when communities generate their own power, everyone benefits.
