Recommendation 6
6
FCDO and BII's implicit emphasis on community-led energy lacks genuine local consideration.
Conclusion
The emphasis put by the FCDO and British International Investment (BII) on community-led energy is often implicit. The key concern is not the absence of the label, but whether localised energy systems are truly considered as a viable option and whether communities are genuinely placed at the centre of planning and implementation. (Conclusion, Paragraph 34)
