Join us in North Northamptonshire for the Community Energy Conference to share ideas and power up local solutions!

Join Us at the North Northamptonshire Community Energy Conference!

Explore the potential of community energy to save money for people, businesses and Councils in North Northamptonshire.

Ever thought that a big building near you should have solar panels? Maybe you think that every school, community centre, leisure centre and industrial estate should have solar energy generated from its own rooftop to save money and carbon emissions for the building users? Would you like to know how a community and Council can come together to make that happen?

If so, join us for the inaugural North Northamptonshire Community Energy Conference at The Corby Cube from 11am-3pm on 18 September 2026.

With GB Energy gearing up to launch the Local Partnerships Fund to provide financial support for Councils and community energy groups to put community-owned solar on Council assets, the first ever North Northamptonshire Community Energy Conference is perfectly timed.

Speaker line-up

The event has been designed to drive better local energy security and savings for people, public bodies and businesses in the area, helping communities come together to address Council financial constraints as energy bills rise, work towards community energy growth targets from Government and improvements to the energy system.

Speakers include Fraser Stewart (Head of Local Energy Strategy at GB Energy), Matt Vickers (CEO of Community Energy England) and Ollie Pendered (Executive Chair of Community Energy Pathways).

There will also be Workshops aimed at helping Officers, business owners and residents explore the opportunities for community energy and work out how best to collaborate to make it happen.

Please register by 31st August so we can confirm catering and venue arrangements. Places are limited to 60 and may close earlier if fully booked.
