Im Londoner Bezirk #Hackney versorgt ein Pilotprojekt #Sozialwohnungen über lokale #Mikrogrids mit #Solarstrom.

Nach regulatorischen Anpassungen können #Haushalte direkt beliefert werden und sparen laut Council rund 15 Prozent bei den #Energiekosten. Das Modell soll auf weitere Gebäude ausgeweitet werden. Auch landesweit wächst die Zahl von #CommunityEnergy-Initiativen.

Homes and public buildings in Bewdley could be heated using water from the river in an innovative river renewable scheme being put forward by the local Transition group.
Transition Bewdley has been working on reducing the town’s energy use and moving it to renewables for years - then a study found it was one of the sites to explore a river heat scheme.

At a public meeting this week, they unveiled the promising results of a feasibility scheme into putting an energy centre in the ground of Bewdley school, where heat from river water would be extracted and boosted and hot water pumped to nearby homes in insulated pipes.

Amazing how volunteers and communities are taking forward new thinking and new projects to reveal new sustainable and innovative ways to meet local needs!

Poland lacks a strong community energy tradition.

However, this is changing. Several promising projects have emerged in recent years, and a national coalition of energy cooperatives has just been established.

Community energy coop Power Up North London grew out of Transition Kentish town.

Now they want to install 400 solar panels on 2 high schools, cutting their power bills & 30 tons of CO2 every year. It will be their 11th project - not bad for a team of committed volunteers!

It is hard to convey the bubbling up of inspiration, connection and energy at our North West regional gathering this weekend!

We were joined by several Transition groups in the area, and many others working for transformative change through growing, community, politics, business, education and more.

Wow, it felt good to connect, be together, share our work and our challenges, and soak up the rich conversations at the beautiful Greenslate Farm, a lush, green, lively community space where everyone is made welcome, a glimpse of how things could be everywhere!

Rob Hopkins took us to 2030 in his portable time machine, and we felt a different world on the horizon, a more spacious, restful one, with enough for everyone, where we can trust and lean on each other, birdsong, insect buzz and recovery for us and for nature. Importantly, we asked how we tell new stories of what's possibly, creating longing for a future we haven't yet reached, and invite new people to help us shape it.

Many threads to reflect on and weave into our future work! We'd love to hear what you got out of it, and what the future holds for you!
