Recommendation
The 8 GW target explicitly recognises the central role of community energy in the Clean Power Mission. A commitment to delivering it requires shifting away from ownership agnosticism to grant community energy a special status and help community energy projects navigate complex grid connection processes. The Government must immediately give Ofgem, NESO, DNOs, and GB Energy clear mandates to work in the delivery of the target. (Recommendation, Paragraph 49)
