November 2017 — June 2018
Scene have been working in partnership with Community Energy England to deliver the second edition of the Community Energy State of the Sector Report 2018.
This research provides an overview of the community energy sector in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is the most comprehensive evaluation of the community energy sector and provides a quantitative basis for the ongoing support of, and advocacy for, community energy in the UK.
The first edition of the State of the Sector study provided evidence of the barriers faced by communities and the impacts of changing support mechanisms on the sector. Furthermore, the study helped to define future trends within the community energy sector, detailing ongoing community resilience and innovation occurring throughout the UK.
