Annual Impact Report

Community Energy Pathway’s (CEP) ambition is to scale up community energy as a key enabler in the transition to a clean energy future, putting people and planet first. Our first Annual Impact Report serves to inform, inspire, celebrate and engage to achieve this ambition through collaboration and broadcasting our evidence-based achievements.

Over the past year, we have celebrated numerous milestones in advancing community energy. Our mission remains clear: to create a vibrant community energy sector and support local authorities in achieving their carbon neutrality goals, aligned with their energy and climate change strategies.

This progress has been driven by our tailored programs, which empower local people to launch a diverse range of projects, from community solar installations to innovative heat and power solutions and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Additionally, these programs offer expert advice on energy efficiency and provide vital support for vulnerable individuals.
