Project to power ‘thousands more homes’ with ‘cheap, homegrown’ energy outlined by OVO

As a result, the Government has been scrambling to end its reliance on gas imports through an accelerated renewable rollout, which could boost the UK’s energy security, while also reducing bills.

Last week, Martin Pibworth, the Chief Commercial Officer of SSE, which is owned by OVO noted that the UK should focus on building a homegrown energy system that is “cheaper, cleaner and more secure and that better protects families and businesses in the future.”

Community energy, which refers to the delivery of community-led renewable energy, energy demand reduction and energy supply projects, could play a key role in this transition.

These projects can be either wholly owned and/or controlled by communities or through a partnership with commercial or public sector partners.
