The North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub was proud to have recently partnered with Hull City Council and Sustainable Technology Development to produce and host the area’s first ever community energy event.
The event – which took place at the Hull Guildhall – showcased what community energy is, how projects can be started, and the benefits to communities of locally-owned clean heat projects which local people benefit from.
Its aim was to to start building a network of interested groups in the area and kickstart conversations around potential projects and partnerships.
If you weren’t able to attend the event, here are slides from the presentations that were delivered.
Community Energy England – Introduction to Community Energy
Great British Energy – the Local Power Plan
Case studies from local projects
The Hub’s own Sue Manson also presented on funding routes and options available for local projects and the support available from the Hub.
Hub Manager Karen Oliver-Spry also chaired a panel featuring Vicky Dunn from Grimsby Community Energy, Ryan Ward from Power Hull, Ruby Berridge from Energy4All, and Hilary Anderson from Rural Design Centre.
