Next Generation case study: Gloucestershire Community Energy Co-op

The aims of the Gloucestershire Community Energy Coop (GCEC) are to enable local communities and individuals to take part in exciting renewable energy schemes across the county, and to encourage energy saving initiatives. By installing solar panels on community buildings, and developing suitable sites for wind and hydro schemes, we aim to give everyone in Gloucestershire a chance to benefit from low carbon, locally generated electricity and renewable heating. The Next Generation project is focused on enabling the installation of heat pumps and solar panels with battery storage in council-owned homes.
