As promised, June was a big month for events in the energy world! We hosted events across Richmond, Wandsworth and Kingston where lots of lovely local people came along to learn more about energy efficiency and the power of community energy.
Our solar event in Ham was attended by 28 locals interested in learning more about a community solar, followed by another 26 Kingston residents who headed to St Andrew’s Church in Surbiton to get started on their decarbonisation journey. We topped it off with a community energy event to celebrate London Climate Action Week, where 45 of us headed to the Pump House Gallery in Battersea Park to showcase the work of South London community energy groups!
Some key takeaways from us:
- There is lots to be optimistic about and heaps of passionate people taking real local climate action – whether that’s dipping their toe into energy efficiency, looking into solar for their homes, or being an active member of the community energy sector!
- We know community energy groups like ours have the local trust and expertise to get into our communities and make a difference on climate and fuel poverty. We’re already doing it very well! But we could be doing (and are raring to do) so much more with the right financial, regulatory and policy support from local and national government.
Our Pathway Zero events are coming to a close now as we had into summer, but we’ll be taking part in some community days across Roehampton this summer, so keep your eyes peeled!
