THE COMMUNITY ENERGY REVOLUTION
Campaign for the Local Electricity Bill
✗
The Problem
The potential for community renewable energy to benefit local economies is being blocked by outdated regulations and hugely disproportionate costs.
✓
The Solution
We have drafted the Local Electricity Bill and have been campaigning for it to be made law. This would enable smaller renewable energy schemes – especially those owned and run by local community groups – to sell their power directly to local people.
◎
The Campaign
Before the July 2024 General Election, we brought a cross-party group of 326 MPs on board in support. We are now asking MPs to support amendments to include enabling community energy in the Government’s Great British Energy Bill.
The Problem
There is huge untapped potential for more smaller-scale renewable energy schemes that could be owned and run by local people. Realising this potential could bring much more clean, cheap and secure energy to local homes and businesses, creating new local jobs and keeping wealth within local areas. But the potential for growth is blocked by the rules that govern the energy system.
At present, if you want to buy your electricity from local renewable sources, such as the local school or sports hall that have solar panels on their roofs, you cannot.
This is because the costs associated with becoming a supplier are huge, regardless of the size of the generation scheme. These costs are outdated and have barely changed for 30 years.
Because local projects cannot sell their clean energy directly to local people, they have to sell it to big energy companies for a fraction of the price that they could receive if they could sell locally. This makes it extremely difficult for communities to set up their own renewable energy schemes, despite the many additional benefits they bring. The result is there are hardly any in the UK.

The Solution
The costs and complexity of selling locally generated clean energy to local people need to be made proportionate to the size of the local energy scheme. We have drafted the Local Electricity Bill which lays out a mechanism that will do this. If made law, it would enable community energy schemes to sell power that they generate locally by making the costs involved proportionate to that activity. This would make it financially viable to do so, allowing many new community-led renewable energy schemes to start up and ensuring their growth nationwide.
The Bill would establish a Community Electricity Export Guarantee and a Community Electricity Supplier Services Scheme. Together, these would enable smaller-scale renewable energy schemes – especially community-owned and run ones – to sell their power directly to local households and businesses.
A Community Electricity Export Guarantee would create a right for sites that generate low carbon electricity with a capacity below 5 megawatts to export their electricity to an existing electricity supplier on fair terms.
A Community Electricity Supplier Services Scheme would create a requirement on existing larger energy suppliers to work with community schemes to sell the power they generate to local customers. Existing suppliers could charge a reasonable and affordable fee for doing this.
The Benefits
If the Local Electricity Bill became law, it would give a huge boost to renewable energy and to local economies.
Communities would see knock-on local economic benefits
Communities would have a viable business model to build new renewable energy schemes, meaning they could help ensure the UK meets its climate change targets.

Communities could raise funds to build more renewable energy
Significant additional value would remain within local economies, meaning more investment in things like local services and more efficient homes.

Communities would benefit from selling local renewable energy
Local economies would be more resilient, local skilled jobs would be created and our energy supply would be more secure due to fewer imports of fossil fuels. This would create greater acceptance of the transition to 100% renewable energy.

The Campaign
Alongside building support for the Local Electricity Bill, we are working to see community energy included in the Government's Great British Energy Bill, a major piece of legislation currently going through Parliament.
In 2023, working with MPs in the House of Commons and Peers in the House of Lords, we had amendments made to the Conservative Government’s Energy Bill that were worded along the lines of the Local Electricity Bill. Whilst these amendments were not themselves successful, this led to the following successes:
A new £10 million Community Energy Fund for England
A Government call for evidence on how to remove the barriers that community energy projects face
A Ministerial commitment to report annually to Parliament on the Government’s progress in supporting community energy
These successes were welcome and the new fund is leading to growth in community energy projects. However, until reform is enacted, the problems that we are campaigning to solve remain. Please help by completing the form below to sign up to support the campaign.
