Renewable energy is key to a thriving countryside.
We’re working for a countryside that everyone can enjoy free from the effects of air pollution and climate breakdown. And this means getting more of our energy from wind, sunlight, and hydropower.

Community Energy Visioning
CPRE has been developing an alternative approach to planning renewable energy in the countryside. This approach recognises the importance of local landscapes, gives a voice to rural communities, and empowers local people to pro-actively prepare for a future with more renewable energy.
