“The whole process starts with schools or other community organisations getting in touch with us to say they would like help... We do feasibility studies and technical surveys, looking at the business case, and once we know it is feasible we raise community shares. “For LEDs there is a similar business model. We retrofit the lighting to access lower energy costs and charge an annual fee less than half of the cost of incandescent lighting.” - Selce CEO & Founder Giovanna Speciale

Up the energy campaign
The Local Power Plan is a big step forward for community energy – but barriers remain. We support @community energy england’s Up the Energy campaign, which is calling on the Government to build on it, delivering the changes still required to make local power reach its potential, making sure that every community can share in the benefits of a cleaner, fairer energy future:
- Deliver on the Local Power Plan and Warm Homes Plan - Guarantee a fair export price for community-generated electricity - Prioritise community projects in grid connection queues - Support local supply models, public sector purchasing and shared ownership - Provide access to public land and rooftop for community energy Find out more about the campaign, get involved and sign up for updates here: uptheenergy.co.uk

@seloncommenergy.bsky.social co-chair @kateaparker.bsky.social with some thoughts on the Local Power Plan, announced by Dept of Energy/Desnz earlier this week
Our co-chair Kate was present at the launch of the Local Power Plan earlier this week - she said:
“The Local Power Plan recognises the multiple interconnected impacts that community energy projects have, and the potential for community wealth building that they offer. The £1bn investment demonstrates a commitment to supporting and growing this model, with a vision that ‘by 2030, every community in the UK will have the opportunity to own a local energy project’.
“The plan builds on the knowledge, experience and success of community energy groups across the UK and the ‘working with’ not ‘doing to’ approach is welcomed. “The intention to listen to what community groups are saying, and to act as a connector between various stakeholders, is positive. “In particular the recognition of Local Authorities as key partners in the Local Power Plan, with targeted support, has the potential to make a big difference at a practical level.“
“The longer-term ambitions to explore and support a wider range of local energy business models, for example through the Local Energy Platform and Smart Community Energy, is exciting and I look forward to seeing this develop.” As Department for Energy Secretary of State Ed Miliband MP put it: “it’s a glimpse of a different economy”.
“The plan builds on the knowledge, experience and success of community energy groups across the UK and the ‘working with’ not ‘doing to’ approach is welcomed."

so a month ago I was reading @markpackuk.bsky.social’s speech on Twitter in the lords and there were obviously fake stats the government used to justify Twitter’s UK reach and its continued importance to British audiences
Rob has now found the source of the data was… Twitter

will just add in the above video that Farage is effectively saying, "anyone who disagrees w me must be a bloody pauper"... mask drop. Is this what passes for the common touch?
Thanks to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for raising the issue of funding for fuel poverty support at City Hall...
This is a positive result from our recent Crowdfunder, as part of which we contacted as many local MPs, councillors & GLA members about this & asked for their support.

a friend was commenting Matt on the fact that Yates was laughing and joking in post-match interview... is this a sign they don't realise what a relegation scrap we're in? Too good to go down? Shd they be offering to refund fans who made the trip like Man C did @mikeyclarke22.bsky.social
comment on Selce in Warm Homes Plan
It was nice to see our energy advice team's work credited, with a mention of our energy cafes in the government's Warm Homes Plan released this week.
In 2024-5, our energy advisors saved households on average >£440 each in year 1, an estimated £968 over 3.
More comment on the plan from us soon.

is it fair to say 'parents don't educate themselves'? A lot of people just not very tech savvy, how are they supposed to keep up?
What if upgrading our homes could also strengthen the bonds between us & our neighbours?

What We Learned from Selce's Last Two Share Offers
Word cloud of topics
“The board direction has been not to try and compete with other investment options, but to focus on attracting people who are keen to invest in local community and to be part of a local just energy transition, while also supporting Selce’s energy advice work.” “This approach is borne out by the applicants to the 2025 solar share offer, 87% of whom said that investment returns were “somewhat important” or “not so important” in their decision to invest.” “Over 80% said that the benefits for local schools and community centres were either “extremely important” or “very important” in their decision to invest.”
