Community Energy In Surrey & Beyond

Surrey Community Energy, a new energy co-op, and schools’ energy specialist Wey Valley Solar, are teaming up for an event that will introduce you to community owned energy and how you can get involved. We'll help bust myths around ‘local energy’ resources, and why community owned renewables are a powerful way to create lower energy prices in Surrey.

For those keen on data-driven energy planning or working in local authorities, we’ll be joined by UK Power Networks DSO to showcase our latest open data and digital tools. These include: 

Local Area Energy Planning (LAEP) Open Data Portal – supporting local decision-making on energy infrastructure. 

Your Local Net Zero Hub – helping councils and community groups plan their net zero journey. 

•  Discover how local renewable energy can reduce costs and benefit your community.

•  Explore investment opportunities with annual returns

• Find volunteering roles to make a real impact

• Learn how your premises could be part of future projects.
