“Community Energy Fortnight 2017 is a go, and this year we are shaking things up to make it an even more diverse and distinctly louder celebration of all things community energy! After a successful Community Energy Fortnight (CEF) in 2016, we are excited to announce another year of collaboration between Community Energy England and Forum for The Future on behalf of the Community Energy Coalition. 2016 is likely to be the hottest year on record, so with climate deals being ratified and a renewed need for cooperation in the air, we will be linking to The Climate Coalition (TCC) in 2017. The Co-operative Energy are again showing their support for community energy, and the critical issue of carbon reduction by generously sponsoring the Fortnight.
CEF17 is starting earlier than previous years to allow more events to take place in the summer. The Fortnight will run from Saturday 24th June – 9th July, with the Week of Community Action taking place in the second week, from 1st – 9th July.
We believe this will allow us to demonstrate the value of community energy in the wider context of climate change and bring together groups who share a similar ethos and vision. Our collaboration will result in a larger event and louder voice as we showcase inspiring examples of communities who are sharing their resources to generate clean renewable energy and actively reduce energy demand.
We are now looking for groups who would like to organise an event that demonstrates what they are doing and the benefits their projects produce. If you are interested in running an event as part of the fortnight, between 24th June – 9th July, we would love to hear from you. Please contact communityenergyfortnight@gmail.com.”
