Crediton Community Energy Project

We are delighted to announce that Sustainable Crediton has just been awarded a substantial sum from the Rural Community Energy Fund to develop a community-owned renewable energy project. Full details of the grant and the project will be explained in the Crediton Courier on Friday 5th September.

Ecotricity Affinity Scheme

We have negotiated a scheme with Ecotricity whereby Sustainable Crediton will receive some cash towards a community fund if any of our supporters switch electricity or gas or both to Ecotricity. More details can be found at this link.

The Energy Roadshow

Everyone wants to save energy and working together as a community can be a great way to reduce everyone's fuel bills and energy use, but it's not always easy to know how best to go about it.  Although there are plenty of options - solar power, wind generation, insulation, energy saving devices and the like - it's difficult to know where to start.  We're going to be available to help you piece together the options for your home and how to get started.
