SIB has made a strategic commitment to Energy Resilience and we want to support communities meet the government’s Clean Power targets for 2035. With the ever-worsening effects of climate change, and our practical experience from 20 years of supporting fairer communities, we are uniquely positioned to advocate for community-centred approaches to the green transition. Community organisations are not only resilient, they can create concentric ripples of environmental, social and financial impact when invested in with care and consideration. We want to support this to happen proactively, in partnership with others who align with our values and vision.

Currently, we are offering support for community groups considering establishing their own heat network. We offer technical and financial support with trusted partners at no upfront cost. If you have completed your first (or second) feasibility stage and are seeking a co-collaborator to help you accelerate at pace to get to the design or build phase of your heat network, please complete our Expression of Interest form to tell us more about you here.
