Alistair Macpherson describes Plymouth’s very own local energy revolution. From its beginnings as just a shared idea to evolving into a community enterprise working with local schools and creating large scale solar arrays, Alistair’s story will inspire you to think global and act local.

Alistair is Chief Executive for Plymouth Energy Community (PEC), a multi award winning social enterprise aiming to transform how local residents can buy, use and generate energy. Since 2013, he has led the development of PEC from a council initiative into a big thinking multifaceted venture, delivering targeted support to the fuel poor and community owned alternatives to fossil fuels. In his talk, Alistair will show how Plymouth is leading the way with a rapidly growing movement of locally owned solutions to our energy crisis.
