πŸ“— @metecoban92.bsky.social's got his. Our new report, Power in Our Communities, contains contributions from a range of experts in the field, making the case that building consensus for our net zero agenda must start at a local level.

We're taking on the politics of division with community-owned clean green energy. Our new report, Power in Our Communities shows us a path towards a net zero transition we can all have a stake in. 🌱🀝🏘️

Community energy gives power back to the British people. We're working with Ed Miliband to put energy back the hands of in communities with the Local Power Plan and GB Energy.

We are living through a moment of extraordinary change – one that future generations will look back on as either the moment we transformed our energy system, or chose not to. Our new report with @lcef.bsky.social says it clearly: now is the time for community power, in every sense of the word.

We’re proud to have Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Ed Miliband contribute to our new report, Power in Our Communities. Available tomorrow.

We're releasing our new report with @lcefuk.bsky.social tomorrow. Community energy brings communities together to produce power that's clean and green, but democratic and people-powered too. Read all about the work already being done in Power in Our Communities.

This week, we'll be releasing a new report with @lcefuk.bsky.social on community energy and the incredible power it has to make our communities an active part of the net-zero transition.

🚨 NEW: We're hosting a talk at this year's inaugural @sxsw.com London. Our Head of Politics @caitprowle.bsky.social will be joined by Deputy Mayor of London for Climate @metecoban92.bsky.social to discuss a version of climate politics that brings communities on the journey to net zero.

Happy Pride Month from all of us at the Co-operative Party! This Pride Month, and every month, we celebrate our LGBTQ+ Co-operators and stand with LGBTQ+ communities across the UK. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆβœŠ

Why let profits float off to offshore shareholders when community energy can create 100x more local wealth? πŸ“ˆ We're backing the Local Power Plan for more money in more pockets, and more control in more communities.

Communities have the tools to fight climate breakdown, and we're giving them the power to use them. The Local Power Plan puts ownership, energy, and control in local hands. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Community energy builds on the foundations of community wealth building. If we do this right, community energy could be a crucial part of defending against the climate crisis. πŸŽ₯ Sarah Boyack MSP in the Scottish Parliament today.

Community energy is community power. We've always backed democratic ownership - from factories and furnaces to rooftops and renewables.

From gala days in Midlothian to seawater pools in Brixham, every constituency tells a different story, but the pride is the same. We asked our Parliamentary Group what makes their communities special. πŸ‘‡

πŸ“Š The numbers are clear. People feel ignored by politicians, but proud of their communities, and want more local power to decide what happens where they live. 🧡 These are the stats that back up our case for community-first politics.

"There's so much going on in the world right now but there's community in places like this. There are lots of things that aren't right in the country we all know that, but this gives you hope, doesn't it?" πŸ“° We're featured in print the Real Britain column on p31 of The Mirror today.
