Starting your project
First steps to starting a project:
Talk to local people with key skills
Find out who would be willing to work together. A core group of dedicated people is key to getting projects off the ground.
Research your community
What is already available in your area? Do you have access to land or buildings? What is the energy use of your community? Who could benefit from a project?
Form your Organisation
Once you have a group of people and an idea for your project, you can set up your organisation to become members of Community Energy Wales, secure funding, insurance and meet other needs.
Funding
Funding for your project can come from community share offers, collaborations with partner organisations, grants or loans. The nature of the support that is available changes regularly. Community Energy Wales shares up-to-date information about funding opportunities with our members.
