Energy across the authority
How local authorities are using assets to develop the energy agenda
This publication will highlight just a small number of the many and varied projects undertaken across the council estate, and sometimes wider, and the benefits which have resulted. It will do four things:
- It will briefly outline the context for local authority involvement in the energy agenda and the energy market.
- It will promote the role of councils in tackling the sector-wide issues as well as the local problems which have developed as the Big 6 energy companies have dominated the market and fuel poverty has increased.
- It will also outline some of the detail behind the actions that the local authorities and other public service providers have taken to directly support and benefit their local communities and economies.
- Finally it will call on local government to engage with the energy agenda and plan for the longer term.
The examples outlined herein provide real world descriptions of how local authorities have tackled the issues raised by the energy agenda in their localities.
