Collaborating and Celebrating: Community Energy in the North East and Yorkshire

Over the past six years, well over 100 organisations in the North East and Yorkshire have worked to generate energy or heat where it is needed for the benefit of local people.  

The local heroes who make up the regional community energy sector have a lot to celebrate – and a lot to learn from each other!  

The North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub is hosting a special event to share knowledge and celebrate the amazing work of community organisations, town and parish councils, faith groups, sports teams and charities to power their neighbourhoods – bringing them together to inspire and inform of each other’s projects, and to introduce them to potential sources of funding. 

This event, held in partnership with the Energy Learning Network, Community Energy England and Northern Powergrid, will: 

  • Facilitate introductions to social funders and finance providers – with the opportunity for 1-2-1 sessions with community groups. 
  • Allow interactive knowledge sharing and networking between community energy groups. 
  • Provide updates from the network operator on grid connections, their new Community Energy Team and the Northern Powergrid Foundation. 
  • Update on Community Energy England and the Energy Learning Network activities.
