Imagine a neighborhood that can
save, generate and share energy
Community Energy includes local efforts to manage how we use energy and where our energy comes from. It refers to multiple energy sources and distribution networks that are shared between various members of a geographic neighborhood, with at least part of the energy generated in the local area. This means some degree of local involvement in the management and control of the system, with sharing of responsibilities, benefits (including revenue) and impacts among the community.
