Story

Community Energy South is a not for profit organisation that mobilises communities to create and develop their own community energy projects, both powering up and powering down to enable community involvement and profit from the energy transition to net zero.

We set up a charity: Warming Communities, that funds a low carbon energy projects and and nature regeneration projects.

If you want to pay back for the carbon emissions you are creating in your personal life, and do not want to subscribe to or are unable to subscribe to formal carbon offsetting projects, we encourage you to contribute to the projects that we support.

You can calculate your carbon emissions here https://carbonindependent.org/

The average carbon price in the UK in December 2022 was £69 per tonne - more details here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1322275/carbon-prices-united-kingdom-emission-trading-scheme/#:~:text=The%20price%20of%20emissions%20allowances%20%28UKA%29%20traded%20on,2021%2C%20UK-ETS%20revenue%20was%201.14%20billion%20British%20pounds

You could use the carbon calculator & price above to assess how much you would like to contribute. As we are not a formal scheme, there are average and informal calculations to enable people to take informal action to make good some of the emissions emitted as part of modern life.

Currently we are supporting the training of energy champions & fuel poverty work, carbon literacy for those unable to pay and the Sussex Kelp Restoration Project:
