Join Local Energy Scotland on Tuesday 27 September in Scotland’s Climate Week to find out how communities can take climate action with the support of the Scottish Government’s Communtiy and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES).
Plenary sessions will look at the global challenges around
energy costs and climate change, and you’ll hear from the communities that are
making a difference at a local level. Patrick Harvie MSP, Minister for Zero
Carbon Buildings, Active Travel and Tenants’ Rights, will deliver a keynote
speech. You’ll also hear inspirational case studies as well as the policy
behind the action.
In-depth ‘how to’ sessions will look at some of the key
skills and actions needed to drive change. The day closes with a funding
surgery where you can find out about the financial support that CARES offers.
Be inspired and find out what your communtiy can do to
make a difference.
Local Energy Scotland and CARES
Local Energy Scotland is a consortium made up of Energy
Saving Trust, Changeworks, the Energy Agency and SCARF. We administer and manage
the Scottish Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES).
CARES supports communities to engage with, participate in
and benefit from the energy transition to net zero emissions.
CARES aims to accelerate progress towards the Scottish
Government’s targets of 2GW of community and locally owned energy by 2030 and
decarbonising Scotland’s buildings. This is achieved through funding and
support for community groups to install renewable energy generation.
