What are 'community energy' projects?
These are clean energy initiatives owned and run by local people or organisations, rather than big private companies. Think solar panels on a village hall, a local wind turbine, or a hydro scheme on a river. The aim is often to keep the benefits, like cheaper energy or profits, within the community.
