January 2019 — May 2019
For the third year running, Scene have been working in partnership Community Energy England to deliver the Community Energy State of the Sector Report 2019. 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.
This year's State of the Sector report is particularly important, as the removal of the Feed-in and Export tariffs in March 2019 could pose significant challenges to the community energy sector. This 2019 report pays particular focus on the future plans and perspectives of community energy groups in this challenging time.
