This is great, and I would love to see more local cooperatives produce community energy.

Decentralised energy: How a Bristol community protects itself against soaring costs
(www.resilience.org)
Definitely feels like the way forward.
There's a small scale one in Bethesda Wales. They have a small hydroelectric generator and there's something called open-energy monitor which they can use within the energy cooperative to schedule power delivery to large load appliances like washing machines.
Cooperatives are truly the way forward for any resource that has an element of common ownership like blocks of flats and community infrastructure.
