The Role of Community Energy in Decarbonising Public Buildings

Seeing is Believing lunchtime webinar: North East and Yorkshire

Local authorities are increasingly exploring ways to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency in public buildings. Electrification of heating and energy systems, delivered in partnership with community energy initiatives, is proving to be a practical and effective approach.

This webinar will showcase examples of public buildings being electrified and decarbonised through community energy projects.

Attendees will gain insights into:
– How community energy can support electrification and renewable energy delivery in public buildings.
– Case studies from successful projects.
– Lessons learned from partnerships between councils and community energy organisations.
– Guidance for developing projects that deliver local and environmental benefits.

Whether you are a council officer, public sector stakeholder, or involved in a community energy organisation, this session will provide useful examples and ideas for accelerating the energy transition in public buildings.

Seeing is Believing: This event is part of the North East and Yorkshire Seeing is Believing programme, funded by the North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub, and delivered with CEE, Ashden and Centre for Sustainable Energy. It highlights how community energy organisations and local authorities can collaborate, showcasing the benefits for communities and stakeholders across the region.
