Kirsty Shanahan is a Project Manager at Community Energy Pathways (CEP). CEP supports local Councils and communities to develop co-operative community energy projects where individuals invest in renewables such as solar PV and battery storage to enable and encourage local organisations and people to access zero carbon, cheap energy even if they do not have the funds to install these technologies. Kirsty is currently working with the Council and groups in Essex and leading a project with the Greater South East Net Zero Hub to accelerate community energy across the South East. She is also a Founder Member of Buckinghamshire Community Energy which is developing Energise Buckinghamshire: a project to install free solar PV and battery storage in 100 homes, using monthly service payments, income from providing flexibility services and SEG payments to provide a return to Members and a sustainable income to fund its Energy Champions service
