The Community Energy England’s National Map is an interactive tool that displays community-led energy projects across England, showcasing various renewable energy initiatives such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. It aims to highlight the contributions of local communities to the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable energy future. The map offers users a visual overview of community energy schemes, providing essential information on the locations, types, and impacts of these projects.
