Community Renewable Energy Scheme

A Community Renewable Energy Scheme allows local residents, businesses, or organizations to jointly invest in renewable energy projects like solar or wind farms. Participants can benefit from the clean energy produced and sometimes receive financial returns or reduced energy costs. These schemes promote local ownership of sustainable energy, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and help communities lower their carbon footprint. By working together, communities can access larger projects and share the economic and environmental benefits of renewable energy development.
