Sustainable Energy Communities

Introduction

The Sustainable Energy Communities Roundtable was organised by The Village, Tipperary Institute, SERVE and Transition Town Cloughjordan with support from Sustainable Energy Ireland.  Its purpose was to initiate discussions on how synergies can be created between community led/bottom up approaches to sustainable energy and national programmes and initiatives.  The roundtable attendees represented a wide cross section of key stakeholders including project developers, community activists, Sustainable Energy Ireland, academic institutes and local energy agencies.
