"In Guyang-ri, a farming village of 70 households, people gather for communal free lunches six days a week. The meals are funded by the village’s one-megawatt solar installation, which generates roughly 10m won ($6,800) in net profit each month.
Guyang-ri serves as the national prototype for South Korea’s rapidly expanding “solar income village” programme, which aims to reach 2,500 villages by 2030."

Via @wim_v12e@tilde.zone Scotland: "There were 42,900 community and locally owned renewable energy installations at the end of December 2024, with a capacity of 1,109 MW. These installations could produce an estimated 1,963GWh of renewable energy annually." https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/report/community-and-locally-owned-energy-in-scotland-2024-report?loc=scotland For comparison: a nuclear reactor produces about 1GW of electricity.
