In mid-August 2025, the concept of Future Now Empowered (FNE) began to take shape. FNE is designed as an enabler for Community Energy Clusters / Grids, with CIC infrastructure ownership and an ultra-low flat-fee maintenance model.
Key Highlights:
- Developed concept of FNE for community-owned energy
- Ultra-low flat-fee maintenance model ensures accessibility
- Focus on fairness, scalability, and local impact
Reflections:
Seeing the concept come to life in early sketches reinforced how much potential there was to empower communities directly.
