We were proud to host #AssemblyEnvironment in Hackney and to showcase how - with the help of @HackneyPower's community energy fund - we're supporting community organisations to generate clean power and save on bills.

💡 Did you know that community energy projects in London could produce enough solar power to power 350,000 homes?
Today, #AssemblyEnvironment has made 8 recommendations to the Mayor and Government in its new report ‘Community Energy'.

🏘️ As part of the rollout, every street and housing estate will be served by an EV charging point.
The new chargers will be mounted on lampposts or on the street in parking bays and there’ll be a discount for local residents through @HackneyPower.
