In this week’s episode Imogen and the team went to visit Ray Valley Solar Park, the UK's largest community-owned ground-mounted solar park to find out how community benefit societies are helping to transform the UK's energy landscape. We speak with Barbara Hammond, CEO of the Low Carbon Hub, and Angus Fraser from Heat Clanfield to understand how community energy projects work, their unique financing structure, and the tangible benefits they bring to local areas.
