ENDNOTES 07 FEATURE FEATURE 1 Community Power Network, “What Is Community Power?” http://communitypowernetwork.com/node/395, viewed 15 March 2016. There are different definitions of community energy across governments. For example, the Scottish government considers community energy projects to be those led by constituted non-profit distributing community groups established and operating across a geographically defined community, per Scottish Government, Community Energy Policy Statement (Edinburgh: September 2015), http://www.gov.scot/ Resource/0048/00485122.pdf. The Australian Community Power Agency states that community-owned renewable energy projects are those that help decarbonise, decentralise and democratise electricity systems and demonstrate that renewable energy technologies work. They develop local renewable energy resources for electricity, heat and fuel in ways that reflect the motivations and aspirations of the local community, maximise local ownership and decision making, share the financial benefits widely and match energy production to local usage.
