London council's energetic drive for co-operation

摘要

Tower Hamlets LBC will showcase the borough's cooperative groups at a free event on 15 September, following the launch of a new scheme designed to cut residents' energy bills. Co-operatives are not-for-profit organisations owned and managed by the people who use their services, bringing mutual benefit to members. This summer, Tower Hamlet's directly-elected mayor, Lutfur Rahman, unveiled the Tower Hamlets Energy (THE) Community Power scheme, aimed at using bulk purchasing to lower household energy bills.
