Call for evidence description

Community energy projects involve groups of people coming together to purchase, manage, generate, or reduce consumption of energy. This includes, but is not limited to:

solar panels
wind farms
hydro power
rural heat networks
electric vehicle charging points and car clubs
fuel poverty alleviation schemes

We are seeking views and evidence on the barriers to community energy projects in England only. We recognise though that there may be some issues which are reserved to the UK government, and that we may receive responses about UK-wide barriers to the development of community energy schemes.

We welcome responses from anyone with an interest or involvement in the community energy sector.
