With 2025 representing a record year for renewable installations and government’s much anticipated Local Power Plan to be released imminently, 2026 is set to be a pivotal year for locally owned energy projects.

Community Energy Seeing is Believing North East and Yorkshire is a programme funded by the North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub and delivered by Community Energy England, Ashden and Centre for Sustainable Energy. It is designed to share inspiring stories from people already doing great things in community energy through site visits, networking events and matchmaking, in order to support new connections and projects.
- Visit to the NHS Solar Farm at Hull University Teaching Hospitals: Home to 11,000 solar panels, this large-scale installation significantly reduces hospital energy bills saving around £250,000 per month during peak summer periods.
- Additional site visits from local community energy projects:A further visit to a local community energy project will showcase how community-led initiatives in Hull and the surrounding area are delivering locally owned renewable energy and social value.
- Meet and connect with like-minded peers: Seeing is Believing Tours represent unique opportunities to spend time with peers tackling similar challenges, allowing for new connections, learnings and opportunities to arise
