COMMUNITY OWNED ENERGY FOR CREDITON?
Did you know that there are at least 5,000 groups in UK working
on community renewable energy projects and that 60 Megawatts of
electricity can already be generated by community owned companies
and the estimate is that this will rise to 3 Gigawatts in the next
six years?
Sustainable Crediton wants our area to be part of this movement.
We are looking at various forms of renewable energy. Following
surveys carried out at Crediton market days, the favoured form at
present is solar PV on large roofs. Any profits would go back to
the community, perhaps to help people save energy and reduce bills.
To see if the project is viable and to find out more about the best
options, we hope to gain a grant from the Rural Communities Energy Fund for a feasibility
study.
You can find out more and show support for this exciting project
by attending a public
meeting on Wednesday 9 April at 7.30pm at Crediton Football
Club, by the Lords Meadow Leisure Centre.
