Sustainable Crediton Community Renewable Energy Project
We are considering setting up a locally owned, not for private
profit company generating renewable energy which would be a

self-reliance and resilience in the Crediton area. It would reduce
the local carbon footprint. It would also contribute to our aims of
working together for a positive future and bringing benefit to the
community.
