Crediton Community Energy Project Pre-accreditation Submitted

As reported last month, we were working on submitting applications into OFGEM to obtain pre-accreditation into the FIT scheme at current FIT rates for our potential project with QE School. Happily we can report that the applications for multiple roofs at QE were all submitted on time and we are hopeful that we will receive confirmation from OFGEM shortly of our pre-accreditation. The actual applications were submitted for us by Exeter Community Energy (ECOE) as they are an existing community co-operative company. Due to the shortness of time given the impending changes proposed by the Government we were unable to become a legal co-operative company ourselves and submit the applications by the end of September. During November we will be meeting with ECOE to agree the terms by which we will manage the potential project between us. Other on-going work during November will be the detailed analysis by us of several years QE School electricity usage to build into our business plan.
