Prime Minister Andy Burnham has launched £30 million in funding for "People's Power" projects, allowing communities to build their own clean energy supplies. The initial £30 million investment is part of a larger £1 billion Great British Energy programme, aiming to support over 1,000 local projects. The programme aims to return money to individuals and enable their direct participation in addressing the climate crisis.
