I think your point about community energy led by community councils is really important, but I wonder why you think that community and town councils haven't seized on this a lot sooner. Because all the community energy projects I can think of in Wales have all been developed by other people, whether with the assistance of the National Trust or whether by persistent individuals who've stuck to it despite all the planning obstacles put in their way. Why have town and community councils, a lot of whom have quite considerable resources, not been actively reinvesting in the community energy that could enrich their communities?
