THE COMMUNITY ENERGY REVOLUTION
Campaign for the Local Electricity Bill

The Problem

The potential for community renewable energy to benefit local economies is being blocked by outdated regulations and hugely disproportionate costs.

The Solution

We have drafted the Local Electricity Bill and are campaigning for it to be made law. This would give electricity generators the right to become local suppliers.

The Campaign

So far, we have brought a cross-party group of 326 MPs on board in support. But we need many more and to achieve this we need your help.

Campaign update:

As of September 2023, as a result of our efforts, the Government have announced a new £10 million fund for groups across England to start up and expand and has committed to a consultation on how to remove the barriers community energy projects face and will report annually to Parliament on it. This is excellent, but the harsh regulatory environment is still in place. We are working to ensure that the consultation can deliver the market reform needed for local projects to thrive.

The Problem

There is huge untapped potential for more smaller-scale renewable energy schemes that could be owned and run by local people. Realising this potential could bring much more clean, cheap and secure energy to local homes and businesses, creating new local jobs and keeping wealth within local areas. But the potential for growth is blocked by the rules that govern the energy system.


At present, if you want to buy your electricity from local renewable sources, such as the local school or sports hall that have solar panels on their roofs, you cannot.

This is because the costs associated with becoming a supplier are huge, regardless of the size of the generation scheme. These costs are outdated and have barely changed for 30 years.

Because local projects cannot sell their clean energy to local people, they have to sell it to big energy companies for a fraction of the price. This makes it incredibly difficult to set up these schemes, despite the many additional benefits they bring.

If the Local Electricity Bill became law, it would give a huge boost to renewable energy and to local economies.

Communities would have a viable business model to build new renewable energy schemes, meaning they could help ensure the UK meets its climate change targets.

The costs and complexity of selling locally generated clean energy to local people need to be made proportionate to the size of the local energy scheme. We have drafted the Local Electricity Bill which lays out a mechanism that will do this. If made law, it would make the costs faced by community energy schemes that want to sell power locally proportionate. This would make it financially viable to do so allowing many new schemes to start up and ensuring their growth nationwide.


The Bill would establish a Community Electricity Export Guarantee and a Community Electricity Supplier Services Scheme. Together, these would enable smaller-scale renewable energy schemes – especially community-owned and run ones – to sell their power directly to local households and businesses.

a)      A Community Electricity Export Guarantee: this would create a right for sites that generate low carbon electricity with a capacity below 5 megawatts to export their electricity to an existing electricity supplier on fair terms.

b)     A Community Electricity Supplier Services Scheme: this would create a requirement on existing larger energy suppliers to work with community schemes to sell the power they generate to local customers. Existing suppliers could charge a fee for doing this, but that fee must be reasonable.

Communities could raise funds to build more renewable energy

Communities would benefit from selling local renewable energy

Significant additional value would remain within local economies, meaning more investment in things like local services and more efficient homes.


Alongside building support for the Local Electricity Bill, we have also been working to see our proposals included in the Government’s Energy Bill, a major piece of legislation that has been going through Parliament.

Working with Members of the House of Commons and the Lords, we have been able to insert the wording of the Local Electricity Bill into the Energy Bill and have used it to call on the Government to bring forward measures to support community energy. This has led to:

  • A new £10 million community energy fund for England

  • A Government consultation on how to remove the barriers that community energy projects face when setting up

  • A Ministerial commitment to report annually to Parliament on progress

This is all highly promising and will lead to growth in community energy projects. However, until reform is enacted, the problems that these projects face remain. Please help by signing up to support the campaign.

Local economies would be more resilient, local skilled jobs would be created and our energy supply would be more secure due to fewer imports of fossil fuels. This would create greater acceptance of the transition to 100% renewable energy.

A cross-party group of

326 MPs

support the Local Electricity Bill

The full list of MPs can be found on our support page. We need many more to win the campaign and see the Bill become law. Please contact your MP and ask them to back the Bill.
