Shared Ownership of Renewable Energy

Example

The UK's Shared Ownership Taskforce and its Community Energy Strategy recommendations

"With the publication of the Community Energy Strategy in January 2014, the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change asked the renewables industry and the community energy sector to work together to establish a voluntary Framework to guide shared ownership of renewable energy. The Strategy states:

We expect that by 2015 it will be the norm for communities to be offered the opportunity of some level of ownership of new, commercially developed onshore renewables projects We will review progress in 2015 and if this is limited, we will consider requiring all developers to offer the opportunity of a shared ownership element to communities.

The Shared Ownership Taskforce was established to develop a Framework." (http://www.renewableuk.com/en/renewable-energy/communities-and-energy/shared-ownership/index.cfm)
