At OVO, we believe community energy has a critical role to play in the net zero transition. Through our work setting up Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with community energy projects across the UK, we’ve seen first-hand the determination and ambition these groups bring to delivering local, renewable energy. But it’s also clear that the system isn’t always set up to let this ambition thrive – with regulatory, financial and structural barriers too often standing in the way.
Across the UK, communities are already leading the charge. But getting a project off the ground isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve created People Powered: How Communities Can Fund and Sell Their Own Power – a practical guide to help community groups navigate the complex world of finance and Power Purchase Agreements.
