Be Ready for Future Benefits

Growing Across the North East

Most of the electricity we buy comes from the energy market, meaning communities rarely benefit directly from the renewable energy generated nearby. Energy Local Club aims to change this by encouraging local generation, local participation, and stronger connections between renewable energy producers and the communities they serve.
