Our strategy is focused on supporting the growth of community energy through 3 core areas of activity:
- Enabling project delivery by providing technical support to community energy projects, in the form of advisory services and standardised project agreements. We aim to remove barriers to entry, and to provide help to communities so they can access, manage, and monitor the funds from those projects. We will work with Government and the commercial sector to support project delivery.
- Driving innovation in the community energy sector. We do this by developing new business models that support communities in retaining maximum benefit from a clean, and fair, energy system.
- Facilitating access to competitive finance for community energy projects, thereby unlocking the potential value available to communities engaging with the energy system. We do this through our commercial arm Leapfrog Finance, as well as through the provision of grants, carbon offsetting finance, and managing benefits on behalf of communities.
