Local Energy is a social enterprise established by the LGiU. All surpluses directly subsidise the LGiU’s charitable work. Download the brochure. Local Energy exists to ensure that public sector organisations manage the risks associated with new legislation on carbon trading and make their full contribution to reducing per capita carbon emissions. We help with data collection, compliance, financial strategies and providing market intelligence. The Local Energy team has run three successful carbon trading schemes for councils, hospitals and universities. We have already helped over 100 public sector organisations to prepare for the transition to a low carbon UK.
