Conclusion
Capacity building initiatives must be targeted and co-designed with community energy organisations to build on existing knowledge and expertise in the sector. Such an approach will ensure that interventions and support are guided by practices and context-specific knowledge and skills, rather than being informed solely by Whitehall or GB energy HQ. A dedicated national community energy unit must be set up immediately. It should include clear governance and accountability mechanisms to avoid power asymmetries when co-designing community energy interventions. (Recommendation, Paragraph 88) 49
