Today, we announce the biggest public investment in community-owned energy in British history. During the previous Parliament, less than £60 million was spent on government community energy schemes. Today, we set aside up to £1 billion of funding from Great British Energy to invest. This will offer grants to local authorities and community groups to support projects in their early stages, loans and project finance to support construction and operation, and funding to help communities buy a stake in larger renewable projects in their areas.
