This innovative project will use the local natural energy resources and develop a new community heating approach to drastically reduce bills whilst providing low carbon warmth. It will focus on including the most vulnerable and at risk of social isolation, those with English as a second language, the elderly in danger of rural isolation and the fuel poor. It will build on work to date to engage and support households in areas of severe fuel poverty in rural North Wales and deprived areas of London. The community will lead on the development of a heat network business plan, with outreach via events and one to one meetings designed to include those in the community who are hardest to reach. This will ensure that the planning and developments are inclusive as well as providing representative feedback for technological innovation and improvements to our current online energy dashboard and app. The innovative community heat network fed by local renewables will provide opportunities for training, education and employment in the area as well as the environment benefits of reducing carbon emissions through using renewable energy locally and provoking consumption behaviour change. This will be enabled by innovative use of batteries to avoid network constraints. We will work to find different payment structures for heat to make it as easy as possible for those in risk of fuel poverty to participate.

这一创新项目将利用当地的自然能源，开发一种新的社区供暖方法，在提供低碳供暖的同时大幅减少费用。它将重点关注最脆弱和面临社会孤立风险的群体、以英语为第二语言的群体、面临农村孤立风险的老年人和燃料匮乏的群体。它将以迄今为止的工作为基础，吸引和支持北威尔士农村地区和伦敦贫困地区燃料严重匮乏地区的家庭。该社区将主导热网业务计划的制定，并通过活动和一对一会议进行外展，旨在将社区中最难接触到的人纳入其中。这将确保规划和开发具有包容性，并为技术创新和改进我们当前的在线能源仪表板和应用程序提供代表性反馈。由当地可再生能源供电的创新社区供热网络将为该地区提供培训、教育和就业机会，并通过在当地使用可再生能源和促进消费行为改变来减少碳排放，从而带来环境效益。这将通过电池的创新使用来实现，以避免网络限制。我们将努力寻找不同的供热支付结构，使那些面临燃料贫困风险的人尽可能轻松地参与。
