Tom Glover, RWE UK Country Chair:
“Community benefit funds from our renewable energy projects across the UK are already delivering meaningful benefits, supporting a wide range of initiatives from solar panels on school buildings to community-owned hydro schemes. The funding announced today has the potential to expand these opportunities even further, enabling even more communities to share in the benefits of the energy transition. Across its portfolio in the UK and Germany, RWE is actively engaging with communities through a range of innovative ownership models, helping to build stronger local partnerships and long-term value. We therefore look forward to working closely with government to help unlock even greater community ownership of renewable developments on commercial terms”.
