![The UK has made impressive strides towards decarbonising its energy system, with over half of our electricity coming from renewable or low carbon sources in 2020. However, to reach net zero further significant strides in energy efficiency must be made along with a huge expansion in renewable energy capacity, especially when factoring in the switch from petrol to electric cars. Our use of electric vehicles needs to grow from 230,000 today to 39 million by 2050.](pages/page-0003-small.png)

Trusted local community organisations, if properly funded, could be a critical part of supporting the environment for this necessary behaviour change, which are significant and range from decarbonising how we heat our homes, a shift to EVs as well as ensuring that the energy transition is an inclusive one.](pages/page-0004-small.png)

![longer requiring local community renewable energy generators to pay non-commodity charges as part of their supply arrangements and allowing them to sell their energy directly to local domestic customers (who are also rewarded for local balancing with settlement taking place at the smart meter) would provide a new business model, reigniting the growth of the community energy sector and ensure a more inclusive, just transition.](pages/page-0005-small.png)
