Community Draught Busters, later renamed Action on Energy, provided energy efficiency services like draught proofing to local organizations and residents from 2010 to 2015. They ran workshops on issues like draught proofing and worked with housing organizations and local government to improve energy efficiency in the community through projects like draught proofing the local library and town hall as well as developing energy networks for residents.

The CLIMB project provides a cloud computing infrastructure for microbial bioinformatics in the UK. Funded by the MRC, CLIMB offers large-scale data storage, computing capacity, and training resources to help UK microbiologists analyze the large amounts of data generated from next-generation sequencing. Currently 199 user groups actively use CLIMB's distributed computing clusters, storage, and customized Galaxy platform. CLIMB aims to meet the growing bioinformatics needs of microbiologists through its on-demand, scalable resources.
RGI interview : Antonella Battaglini
1. The role of grids in Europe is important for developing renewable energy sources because building an integrated European grid capable of distributing both large-scale and distributed renewable generation is necessary to achieve full decarbonization of the European power sector and meet energy security targets, according to studies.
2. Environmental regulations and timely grid expansion can be reconciled by following principles set out in the European Grid Declaration signed by environmental organizations and grid operators to build new infrastructure with full respect for the environment.
3. Public acceptance of new grid infrastructure is difficult to achieve but critical for the energy transformation; getting stakeholders involved in decision making and learning from past experiences on public engagement can help, according to RGI.

The Cambridgeshire Renewable Infrastructure Framework (CRIF) is inviting people to attend an event on October 18th from 5-7pm at The Maltings in Ely to explore how communities can deliver local energy projects to help address rising fuel bills and energy security. Attendees will discuss how communities are already benefiting from energy projects in Cambridgeshire and how to identify new projects that need support to be realized, and have the opportunity to share their own ideas on generating more local energy.
Energy infrastructure development for a low carbon world 2014 - rj heffron
Dr. Raphael Heffron gave a presentation on energy infrastructure development for a low-carbon world. He discussed how cities will be home to most of the world's population, but energy policy does not fully reflect this. Developing new low-carbon energy infrastructure like grids has faced challenges securing financing. He proposed applying an energy justice framework with distributional, procedural, and recognition justice to help balance the competing demands of economics, security, and environment when developing new infrastructure and engaging the public. Case studies from countries like Denmark, Germany, and the US showed how public ownership and an energy justice focus on cities could help achieve energy and climate justice goals.
Dave Carter Green Digital Charter March 2010
The document discusses the Green Digital Charter, which aims to use digital technologies to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions in cities. It outlines priorities like demonstrating innovative solutions, creating new partnerships for local action, and supporting open innovation. The Green Digital Charter has been signed by 23 cities and plans to build wider support through exemplar projects and identifying benchmarks of excellence.
Heat and the city
District heating has developed in some parts of the UK today, though not to the same extent as in countries like Sweden and Denmark. In the UK, district heating development has been more fragmented and voluntary due to the relative fragmentation of local government compared to other countries where national policies encouraged broader development. Some areas that have seen more development include sustainable city initiatives and projects in Aberdeen. Barriers to further development include a lack of clear governance structures to integrate smaller systems into larger networks over time. Current UK policy approaches aim to support project development but maintain a more commercial and technology-neutral approach compared to other countries.

How cities are going low carbon while supporting economic growth
The document discusses how cities can support low carbon economic growth through local action. It identifies three underlying principles - leadership, knowledge, and networks - and five types of interventions that cities can take: procurement, regulation, supporting business, incentives, and finance and funding. The document provides case studies of specific city initiatives within each of the five intervention areas and lessons that can be transferred to other cities.
Barry Forde - B4RN
The B4RN project is a community benefit society that is laying fibre optic cables to deliver full fibre broadband to rural areas of North Lancashire and Cumbria. The project area covers 41 parishes and over 700 square kilometers with around 10,000 properties. B4RN uses a fibre-to-the-home network with small-bore ducting and blown fibre technology to deliver symmetrical gigabit broadband for £150 connection and £30 per month, or 10 gigabit for £2000 connection and £120 per month. B4RN is funded through share offerings that have raised £1.5 million, community loans of £1.25 million at 5-6% interest, and external connectivity is provided through leased dark

Local governments are expanding broadband access by investing in and partnering on broadband infrastructure. The Institute for Local Self-Reliance focuses on issues like local banking, decentralized energy, recycling, and telecommunications as a commons. Many approaches to expanding broadband access are already happening in Minnesota, including partnerships with cooperatives, multi-town joint efforts, wireless networks, and full fiber networks to homes and businesses.
Westwave
This document discusses ESB WestWave Project, a 5 MW wave energy array project off the coast of Ireland that is being developed by ESB Innovation. The project aims to demonstrate the technical readiness of wave energy technology, develop supply chain capabilities, gain public acceptance, and prove opportunities for wave energy in Ireland. It provides background on ESB, Ireland's renewable energy targets, wave and tidal energy resources, and the roles that Ireland can play in the development of the global ocean energy sector through areas like concept development, ocean testing, and market deployment of first arrays. The WestWave project is an important part of Ireland's ocean energy development roadmap and aims to have the first wave array operational in Ireland by 2018.

Digital Divide Slides
The document discusses three organizations working to promote digital inclusion in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Connect Your Community aims to help 5,200 disconnected citizens become broadband users through training, subsidized computers, and broadband assistance. Every Citizen Online provides library-based broadband training in Cleveland suburbs. Nonprofit computer labs offer basic training but face uncertainty once stimulus funding ends. Promoting digital inclusion requires personal engagement, training, affordable hardware and internet access.
