Why Community Energy England Is Leaving Twitter/X

16/12/2024

At Community Energy England (CEE), we represent over 310 community energy organisations and stakeholders, each dedicated to creating a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient energy future. As stewards of these values, we have reflected deeply on our continued presence on Twitter/X and have decided it is time to leave the platform.

Twitter once served as a valuable tool for connecting with diverse audiences, sharing ideas, and amplifying the voices of our community. However, the platform has transformed significantly over the past couple of years and many of our members have taken the decision to leave, so we believe it is no longer a sufficiently effective tool for our work.

Moving forward

While leaving Twitter/X, we are not stepping away from our commitment to engage, inform and spread our members’ news widely. We are pleased to announce our presence on BlueSky—a platform we believe is now better suited to fostering conversations and sharing insights from across the community energy sector, and one to which many of our members have already moved. Additionally, we will remain active on LinkedIn as we know this is an important space for sharing knowledge and fostering dialogue with our members and the broader community energy sector.

Stay connected

As we say goodbye to Twitter/X, we encourage you to connect with us on BlueSky and LinkedIn to continue being part of the nationwide community energy conversation. 

Thank you for your support and understanding as we take this step forward.
