The text you shared discusses a community energy initiative called “People Owned Power,” which envisions transforming entire streets into clean, green power stations. This idea was brought to life in Walthamstow, east London, by activists and filmmakers Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn, documented in their film *Power Station*. The initiative helps households and groups of neighbors use solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, insulation, and electric vehicle chargers to significantly reduce their reliance on mains electricity—by an average of 80%, with some households even generating 120% of their needs, exporting surplus energy to the grid.
Howard Johns, founder of People Owned Power, highlights that this approach builds “the social infrastructure for a decentralised, flexible energy system” that allows communities to share energy locally for a cleaner, more resilient, and fairer future.
If you’re interested in more examples or ways to set up community-owned solar schemes or have questions about implementing solar energy in areas controlled by political parties like Reform, feel free to ask!
