Resource Hub

The Local Energy Supply Guides from Ynni Cymru are available in English and Welsh and provide practical, accessible information to help organisations explore local energy supply opportunities and make better use of locally generated renewable energy. The guidance covers the key regulatory, commercial and technical considerations involved in developing local energy supply projects, helping organisations understand the options available and assess potential approaches.

The guides cover Behind-the-Meter Energy Systems, Private Wire Energy Systems and Licence Exempt Electricity Supply. They explain how each model works, the opportunities it may offer, and the factors organisations should consider before progressing a project. The guidance is designed for organisations interested in developing local energy projects or making better use of locally generated renewable energy, including SMEs, voluntary and charitable organisations, community energy organisations, renewable energy developers, local authorities, public sector bodies and others exploring local energy supply opportunities.

The EXPLORE Framework is a set of practical resources designed to help local and combined authorities take a more integrated, place-based approach to strategic planning.

It supports organisations facing complex local challenges by bringing together data, insights and collaborative tools to enable clearer decision-making across departments and partners. The framework focuses on health, wellbeing, nature and sustainability, helping bridge the gap between technical data and real-world policy solutions.

The toolkit includes an Outcome Measures Dashboard to track progress, Factor Maps to highlight the key influences on local outcomes, and Horizon Scanning tools to help organisations plan for future change.

Together with a facilitation package, Explore provides a structured yet flexible way for teams to develop strategies that deliver better outcomes for people, places and the environment.
