Community Energy Projects
CLASP, the Energy Saving Trust & Neighbourhoods Northwest have developed a package of resources for communities interested in developing renewable energy projects.
It consists of factsheets, case studies, checklist, powerpoint presentations and literature library to enable communities to engage the wider community and demonstrate the benefits of renewable energy projects, find support and collectively decide on the best project for their community group.
