‘How to’ for all things community energy

The “How to” section of Community Energy England website offers information, advice and resources about a wide range of topics related to community energy. The aim of this guide is to help people just starting out on the community energy journey and support more experienced groups with governance, new technologies and business models. Moreover, it also includes guides for stakeholders and supportive organisations who want to get involved with community energy.

This guide is a vast source of information structured in four sections:

• Understanding community energy
• Getting started with community energy
• Operating a community energy organisation
• Technologies, innovation and new business models

Although there are some sections that are only relevant for England and the UK, such as the ones dedicated to the distribution network operators or local councils, most of the information can be useful for community energy projects based anywhere in Europe.
