By Community Energy England

23th June - 8th July

The annual Community Energy Fortnight (CEF) is a platform to showcase inspiring examples of communities who are sharing their resources, wasting less and embracing new technologies as diverse as solar-PV arrays, wind turbines, hydro-electricity and biomass heat.

The theme for this year is 'Energised Communities'. From 23 June – 8 July we will be celebrating the energised communities who are tenaciously generating and saving energy, fighting fuel poverty, improving their local environment, reducing carbon emissions and innovating the energy system. The fight against climate change is people powered!

We are looking for event organisers to help us make 2018 an even more diverse and distinctly louder celebration of all things community energy. For an overview of what happened last year, see here. For resources and inspirational ideas for your event, check our event pack. If you’re interested in running an event for CEF18, or would like to know more, please fill in this form, or email communityenergyfortnight@gmail.com.

Can’t organise an event? You can still can involved in the Fortnight by spreading the voice on social media, writing a piece for the CEF blog, or attending the UK’s largest Community Energy Conference which will kick-start the Fortnight and see the launch of the much anticipated second State of the Sector report.
