Thank you @bigsolarcoop.bsky.social for the photo from the away-day last year 🙂

There's a lot to think about when setting up as a #communityenergy organisation.

#Tech is one of the foundations to get right. We wanted to share our strategy and choices to help #capacitybuilding

Time to turn UP THE ENERGY on community power! And to kick things off this week, we’re heading to Westminster.

On Wednesday 4th March, a coalition of organisations will hand in an open letter calling on Government to #UpTheEnergy on community power.

A large bunch of violets (which smell great) flowering in dappled sunshine. There's some lawn grass visible around them.

I know it's the wrong flower but here are some violets in our garden for you all. They smell great. Dydd Gwŷl Dewi Sant hapus all.

This week we are piloting a new initiative, "Get Grant Ready" with five local organisations who want to install rooftop solar.

It's our first meeting with everyone, plus expertise in planning, feasibility, leases, etc and, of course, #communityenergy.

Very exciting to get everyone in the room!

Still fun (if not so new)....

Delighted with our new banners from 2020 Display Limited. The colours are perfect!

One is for "welcome", one for "mission", and one for "call-to-action". The three work separately or together, and the landscape runs across the bottom.

Richard Lane, a middle aged white man with a characteristic look of slightly panicky concentration about his eyes as he smiles for the selfie, and Kirsten Ayris, a younger women with long dark hair, glasses, an entirely more natural smile, and who just had a birthday this week (so wish her a happy birthday when you see her) standing huddled together wrapped in coats and scarfs in breezy conditions on a clear but cold day in front of York Fire Station.

This week directors Rich & Kirsten were doing some freezing cold filming at one of the sites we did feasibility for, funded by the Community Energy Fund. Is it going to get community solar? No - it got Mayoral Renewables Funding after we'd done the work. C'est la vie! And more rooftop solar = good.

Air-to-air heat pumps: a low-carbon solution for UK homes A2A heat pumps can provide homeowners with an additional option for decarbonising home heating

February is a great time to talk about… air conditioning. Otherwise known as air to air heat pumps, which can heat as well as cool your home, very efficiently.

We have a big new report out today on how suitable air to air heat pumps are for British homes. The answer: quite a lot!

Still fun (if not so new)....

What makes #CommunityEnergy succeed in practice?🔋🤔

@lukegooding.bsky.social’s letter in @theguardian.com reflects on the UK’s up to GBP 1 billion pledge and the often unseen “quiet labour” behind delivery, including why long-term support matters.
