Summary

This week I'm joined by Damian Tow, Director of the Brighton Energy Co-op, to discuss how community based energy systems can thrive in a commercial environment. We discuss: • The definition of community energy • How the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model works • Community energy's USP/added social value • Scale: how small/large can community schemes go • Skills required • Government policy (or lack thereof) This episode is brought to you by Terra Infirma Ltd - Bringing Sustainability to Life Hosted on Acast.
