<p>BEIS launched the Local Energy programme in 2017 to support local authorities in
taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote clean growth. Almost
£20 million has been invested in the programme to date, funding a range of measures
designed to build local capacity and capability. This includes creating five Local
Energy Hubs across England, which provide Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and
local authorities with access to expertise to help themin develop plans to secure
investment in low carbon projects. The programme has also funded the production of
an energy strategy for every LEP area, the production of good practice guidance and
resources, a finance conference and regional workshops, and the £10 million re-launch
of the Rural Community Energy Fund.</p>
