About Us
Our Community Energy Master Plan Process
Our community energy team knows that sustainability cannot happen in communities, without communities.
Our unique offering puts public workshops at the center of the Energy Master Plan (EMP) process. We use local ideas to develop a locally relevant register of opportunities for future projects.
We deliver community-led EMPs through a four step process of community participation.
To start with we get to know your community and let your community know the process.
Then our team of researchers maps your current local energy emissions to create a baseline for future planning.
After mapping the local environment, we host a public workshop to gather inputs from your local area
Following our engagement and research process we host a public event to launch the final EMP to the wider community.
