HOW does it work ?
HOW does it work ?
Individual ratepayers within the community energy system will have access to funding as well as expertise from the original pioneers of green energy infrastructure in Canada to make their homes more energy and cost-efficient – the technical improvements have been proven to increase energy efficiency by at least 75%.
Once the costs of retrofitting have been covered, regenerative capital will be unleashed, growing a fund that can be used for community-driven sustainability initiatives.
The key lies in transforming passive ratepayers into active stakeholders through responsible resource management.
Since this capital will be owned and managed by the community, it ensures that the collective needs of the people are being addressed in an accessible and inclusive fashion. It also creates an economic locomotive (Local Motive) that will drive broader cultural transformation.
By bridging individual households into a collective force, this initiative demonstrates how collective action creates opportunities no single homeowner could access alone.
