Edinburgh Community Solar Co-op were recently invited by Scottish Power Energy Networks to share the story of our Co-operative in this new video:

We were pleased to be able to showcase and chat about the solar installations we have completed in Edinburgh, and to see some fantastic drone footage of our installations across the city.

One of the big challenges for community energy projects is getting connected to the grid: sometimes this can prevent a project from going ahead altogether. Scottish Power Energy Networks have recently released a Community Energy Strategy, outlining how they plan to work more closely and strategically with community groups. It’s an encouraging step to see a District Network Operator taking these steps and we hope the video helps to amplify the great potential of community energy projects.
