Ms Petrie spoke of the concept of community energy provider advisers. That is a good idea. Members of the public can be somewhat overwhelmed by the bureaucracy and red tape associated with applications. How would that work in reality? Would local authorities provide this service or would it work well in community welfare offices? Who are the community energy advisers? Who pays them and under whose remit would they fall?
