The goal of this project was to assist the Green Valleys Community Interest Company in developing a model renewable energy strategy for Wales to better meet UK climate change goals, promote the growth of a rural energy economy, and improve renewable energy success in the corporate and community sectors. Based on interviews with renewable energy experts in several countries, we identified three models of development: corporate invested energy, community invested energy, and community energy storage and management. We recommend that Wales pursue all three models and we identify various policies necessary to support this approach. %9 Interactive Qualifying Project %~ Digital WPI %W WPI
