Ealing Transition are hosting an event with various talks from speakers about community energy this weekend. 

On Sunday 29th January, a range of speakers will be imparting their knowledge about how to use sustainable energy at St Mary's Church in Ealing. 

The speakers are from Community Energy London, Ealing Transition, and from Ealing Council on topics including community energy projects, and what is needed to make them more successful and wide ranging. 

Community Energy London are a group with a shared desire to mitigate the impacts of climate change and who look to educate others through sharing experience, resources, and learning hoping to inspire groups to lobby government in favour of community energy. 

Community Energy London said on their website about community energy: "Community energy is where people come together to engage in energy-related activities, usually in response to concerns about climate change, inequality and fuel poverty.  

"Projects are designed to have local benefits and are led by local people – and activities can include generating renewable energy, efficiency measures, group buying and initiatives aimed at changing behaviours.  

"It can mean everything from clubbing together to get solar on your local estate or city farm, to doing talks with schools about saving energy, or even screening a film about energy with your neighbours.  

"Community energy projects are widely recognised as an effective way to raise awareness and engage people in energy issues."
