Join us at the Odyssey Cinema on 15th June for an inspiring film about community energy, followed by a Q&A discussion on the potential for community energy in St Albans District.
About the film
Two artists and activists set out to transform their street by bringing solar power to each home, one step at a time. As climate breakdown intensifies alongside the cost- of-living crisis and rising fuel poverty – and with little meaningful action from the UK government – the question becomes: what can ordinary people do? Their answer is simple: take control.
“Every home a power station” is the rallying cry behind Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn’s community-driven initiative, inspired by the spirit of mutual aid that emerged during lockdown. Power Station offers a heartfelt, often humorous portrait of their journey to build local energy independence – showing that real power lies in collective action.
Panel Q&A
After the film, Alban Community Energy will host a Q&A exploring a vital question: What does a people-powered energy transition look like in St Albans District?
We will be joined by a panel including Howard Johns from POP Energy – the filmmakers’ installation partner – and Sarah Burgess from Grand Union Community Energy. Together, we will explore what a community-led energy transition in St Albans City and District could look like, and respond to audience questions about how it might work.
