This is to bring spiralling energy costs down for venues, and one day eliminate their energy bills altogether. This energy independence is crucial for grassroots music to have a real, sustainable future.

Energy costs have destabilised grassroots music venues for years. Which is why today we launch: Off The Grid, supported by LIVE Trust, and bands like Coldplay who have donated funds via their stadium tours. 📸 by Georgia Penny

Working alongside @communityenergyengland.org and @musicdeclarescan.bsky.social, we are installing solar and battery systems in venues across the UK.

Lovely morning getting feedback on the Future Energy Landscapes workshop we helped run in Dymock and Bromesberrow... #communityenergy #localviews

Thrive's CEO, Matthew Clayton, writes how together we can unlock the power of local solutions and free ourselves from fossil fuel shocks one neighbourhood at a time 👇 www.theengineer.co.uk/content/opin... @communityenergyengland.org @bettersocietycapital.com

Quoted in @ketanjoshi.co's piece in @theguardian.com: a year ago Spain's grid collapsed. Solar was blamed, return to fossil predicted. Investigations found voltage failures. Then Hormuz closed. Spain was shielded as renewables cut wholesale prices by 40%. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
