Our SOTS research powers stronger advocacy for community energy across the UK. Share your data and help drive evidence‑based change in the sector.
There is a huge opportunity in 2026 to shape how community energy projects are supported across the country. With the recent publication of the joint GBE/UK Government Local Power Plan there is increased interest in, and commitment to, community energy at a national level.
Your insights are invaluable in strengthening the push for policies and funding that better supports community energy at local, regional and national levels. Whatever activities your group is involved in, we want to hear from you.
Together, we’re building a stronger case for:
- Community-led electricity & heat generation
- Energy storage & low-carbon transport
- Energy efficiency & demand management
- Fuel poverty initiatives & wider sustainability projects
The 2026 SOTS portal is now open. Don’t miss your chance to shape the future of community energy – register and take part in this year’s survey!
