Energy Learning Network

The Energy Learning Network is a free UK-wide learning network that helps community energy groups share knowledge, build skills and overcome challenges as they develop renewable energy projects. Through peer learning, mentoring, events and practical resources, the network connects communities with the experience and support they need to take projects forward.

Join the Energy Learning Network to access free events, resources, peer support and opportunities to learn from others working on community energy projects.

Future Energy Landscapes

Our Future Energy Landscapes design and facilitation support offer is based on our award-winning approach to helping communities shape decisions about renewable energy in their local area. We work with local authorities, civic organisations and community groups to run meaningful engagement processes that give people a real say in local energy futures.

To discuss your needs and find out how Future Energy Landscapes could support your project, contact us for an initial conversation and a tailored proposal.

Capability-building

We design and deliver training, workshops and learning spaces that bring together the social, technical and financial aspects of renewable energy project development.

From masterclasses for emerging groups to tailored sessions for organisations navigating specific challenges, we help build the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to develop successful projects.

We create practical and engaging learning that reflects the realities of delivering renewable energy projects. We can help groups explore new approaches, overcome barriers and learn from the experience of others. CSE is open to commissions from community groups, local authorities, funders and partner organisations looking to strengthen their skills and capability.

Contact us to discuss your requirements and explore how we can support your organisation.
