Claire Birch, Community Engagement Officer from Indigo Power, spoke to the club on community energy in our region.
Power hubs are organised and run by volunteers with the aim of 100% renewable energy. Groups formed to carry out a variety of projects in type and size.
Benefit to communities include enabling equal access to the benefit of renewable energy, whilst combating and improving economies in regional towns. Projects provide a lasting legacy for future generations and provide management in times of emergency and disaster.
Community Power Hubs collaborate and support community engagement for communities to organise and implement renewable energy projects that benefit communities.
Projects underway in the North East include EV chargers and community storage batteries
