How will we finance this?

How can we get the

necessary support?

What should we do and

when?

Inaction leads to missing out and falling behind

peers

What a 100% RE future looks like:

Innovative financing solutions

Support from councillors & operational

management

Staged Energy Efficiency & RE

solutions

The local government runs

on 100% renewable energy
