## Description
Decarbonising energy is critical to reducing carbon emissions in the South of Scotland as homes and workplaces account for around a fifth of total greenhouse gas emissions.  Energy bills are rising fast and are set to rise further - collective, co-ordinated and sustained effort is needed to address these challenges.
South of Scotland Enterprise wants to take action to improve information flow between individuals, communities and businesses and stimulate the supply chain.  Key to this will be providing a technology solution which allows communities to understand their energy demands and options for energy efficiency / decarbonisation while supporting community collective purchase.
