Explained in plain English

What is 'People's Power'?

'People's Power' refers to community energy projects where local groups generate their own clean electricity. This could involve solar panels on community buildings or local wind turbines. The idea is to give communities more control over their energy supply, reduce their reliance on big energy companies, and keep the economic benefits within the local area.
