A message from SP Energy Networks, our headline sponsor:SP Energy Networks is dedicated to empowering communities across the UK through sustainable and resilient energy solutions. As the distribution network operator for Central and Southern Scotland, North Wales, Merseyside, Cheshire, and North Shropshire, and the transmission owner for Central and Southern Scotland, we keep electricity flowing to over 6 million customers across 3.5 million homes and businesses through our network of over 110,000km of power cables and 30,000 substations, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. In sponsoring this year’s Community Energy Scotland Annual Conference, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Community Energy Strategy. Developed with the invaluable support of Community Energy Scotland representing the other Community Energy Representative bodies across the UK, this strategy underscores our commitment to helping local communities harness the full potential of community energy. Earlier this year, we established a dedicated Community Energy Team to focus exclusively on supporting community energy projects. Our goal is to provide the necessary support and resources to enable communities to develop and manage their own energy projects, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future. We also recently sponsored this year’s ‘State of the Sector Report’ in collaboration with the Community Energy Representative bodies across the UK which gave invaluable insight into the specific impact and trends within the community energy sector. By working closely with our stakeholders, we aim to create a collaborative environment where innovative energy solutions can thrive, ultimately benefiting all our communities which we work within.
