Why community energy: Community energy transcends boundaries by connecting across communities and countries to achieve a shared goal - involving communities in community-led renewable energy, energy demand reduction and energy supply projects. Through a community-led approach, we create agency for all groups in society to participate in a Just Transition. Together we can achieve so much more - I can't justify 'why not'!
