A New Matchmaking Service for Community Energy Groups
PowerPaired is a new, free online platform which provides a matchmaking service to bring together community energy groups and the owners of sites with potential to host community-owned renewable energy projects. Their aim is to increase the number of community owned renewable energy projects in the UK by making it easier for them to get off the ground. They want to help communities take control of the way their energy is generated, saving money and tackling climate change at the same time.
Other support tools will be available including partner Pure Leapfrog’s legal template documents.
Created by sustainability NGO Forum for the Future, over 100 sites are already on offer from the National Grid, churches, schools, and offices across the UK.
