The Community Energy Kickstart initiate, a joint venture between Younity, Octopus Energy and Midcountries Co-operative, has awarded its first advance to Bristol Energy Coopertive to support a 1MW rooftop solar project in Hengrove, South Bristol.
Solar Power Portal caught up with Tom Hoines, MD of Younity, about the challenges for community energy organisations in finding projects in a “very competitive market” and the need to encourage more involvement in community energy.
A joint venture aimed at breaking down barriers preventing community energy projects from coming on-stream has been relaunched by Octopus Energy and the Midcounties Co-operative.
