Resources

We are committed to addressing the sector's biggest challenges and helping community energy to reach its full potential. We aim to document much of the work we do through our network of professional advisors, community groups and local/central government and wherever possible we intend to make our reports and other publications publically available. Our resources range from introductory guides through to technical notes on specific legal and financial issues. Please note that any resources we have produced that are no longer relevant or contain our of date information will be relocated into the archive folder.

We hope you find the information useful in assisting you to deliver on your strategies and projects.
