Energy Revolution - Ecolibrium

Energy Revolution invests in community led projects that generate clean renewable energy, benefitting the community they exist within. This was ecolibrium’s first climate solutions programme, launched in 2015, and as of 2022, with the support of our 100+ members we have supported 10 brilliant projects. Through Energy Revolution the price per tonne of CO2 is £50.

We support all of our members with resources to approach travel more sustainably, and with tools to measure their emissions. We then help set up systems to collect carbon-balancing donations from audiences to address their unavoidable event-related travel emissions. 100% of these balancing donations go to projects that generate clean renewable energy.

Our Energy Revolution partners projects are community-led, community-benefit clean renewable energy initiatives across the UK that help reduce reliance on fossil fuels, benefit neighbourhoods and empower communities to take control of their energy consumption with financial gains. We prioritise community-scale projects which include community engagement, training opportunities for young people and clean energy education in local schools. See a full list of our partners.

We believe that supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy is vital, but our aims are more ambitious; festivals and events have the potential to inspire and educate hundreds of thousands of people each year, to promote sustainable travel options and to show leadership by taking action. As a community of events and suppliers, and as an industry as a whole, we can help this change happen.
