Belfast City Council has agreed to look into “community energy” for local residents in the city to take control of their own heating energy sources.
Elected members agreed a motion by the Green Party at the council’s recent Strategic Policy and Resources Committee for council officers to make a report upon potential projects in the city, and to make an appeal to Stormont for funding support.
Community energy refers to community-led renewable energy projects, whether wholly owned and controlled by communities or through partnership with commercial or public sector partners.
