Last week we welcomed @RNBlake, @metecoban92 & the @CoopParty to Aldgate Solar Power. 🌍⚡ Recognised as a beacon project, we’re proud to be the first community energy co-op in the City of London & Westminster - and hopefully the first of many. #CommunityEnergy #NetZero

This week we joined a site visit to Middlesex Street Estate. We are proud to be supporting @AldgateSolar in its work generating clean energy locally, bringing community-owned power to the heart of the City of London & Westminster.
Thank you @RNBlake, @metecoban92 & @CoopParty for visiting our community energy project. 🌍⚡ Community energy is co-operative values in action: democratic, fair & sustainable power owned by the people. Proud to be the first of hopefully many in the City of London & Westminster.

🌞 On the rooftops of Aldgate, @RNBlake and @metecoban92 show how community energy is powering London’s future. Solar panels on the Middlesex Street estate are proof that when power is put back in the hands of communities, change happens: cleaner, greener, fairer.

We joined @RNBlake, @metecoban92, @RepowerLondon and @CommEnergyLDN at Middlesex Street Estate in the City of London 🌇 If we can power communities with solar right here in the Square Mile, we can do it everywhere. 🌞✨

Great to see Great British Energy Bill published with clear commitments to community-owned energy. My letter to Energy Minister @mgshanks inviting him to visit energy projects in Cities of London and Westminster & to discuss how to fix our broken energy model.

.@RNBlake visited Aldgate Solar Power. Seeing that to #EmpowerCommunityEnergy is #WinWinWin, she wants more of it across the UK and the Cities of Westminster and London. We say 'bring it on'. @CoopParty @RepowerLondon @CommEnergyLDN
Local communities owning their own energy production will reduce bills and secure our energy supply. It's simple. @RNBlake makes the case for Community Energy and Great British Energy.

Supported by our Powering Communities Fund, @AldgateSolar successfully ran their Creative Energy Club - a series of art workshops where people could create a renewably-powered village. They were so popular they booked out!

Great to catch up with Syed from @CommEnergyLDN and Common Councillor Jason Pritchard to see the Aldgate community energy scheme at Middlesex Street. This is a fantastic example of local renewable energy investment supporting communities.
