Introduction: The Programme is an intensive three year local engagement initiative to embed community energy coaches within communities to deliver measurable behaviour change in terms of energy consumption. This will be through fostering innovation in load reduction and renewable generation, as well as developing the innate capacity of local communities to sustain ongoing, positive change in reducing energy consumption.

Objectives: The project looks at load reduction in areas where networks have been identified as needing upgrading to sustain growth. This will be done through the use of innovative approaches to community engagement, along with education and empowerment of communities and authorities.
