ICM Research recently conducted a survey on behalf of the Co-op into people’s views on renewable energy within their community.
Of the 2027 GB adults interviewed 68% said they would be likely to support local renewable energy projects, including wind turbines, if they were 100% owned and controlled by the community with all the profits benefiting the community. Only 7% of respondents said they would be unlikely to support a project such as this.
