QUEST, Community Energy Association and Sustainable Prosperity have just released a new tool, the Community Energy Implementation Framework, to help communities move Community Energy Plans from vision to implementation.
The framework contains 10 strategies that provide advice on political, staff and stakeholder engagement; staff and financial capacity; and embedding energy into local government plans and processes. Laid out in an easy to use online format, the guide also includes an Implementation Readiness Survey, which is a self-evaluation tool intended to help communities identify areas of strength and weakness for implementation.
