The UK is facing the worst energy crisis for a generation. The Government has responded with intentions to ramp up oil and gas production and to introduce fracking to the English countryside. We believe there are better solutions that will deliver long-term prosperity for people and planet
Why it is essential to establish partnerships between Local Authorities, businesses, and community energy groups to accelerate the transition to net zero emissions.
When the Unity Centre took over the Old Turkish Baths in Lewes the property was just an empty shell. BHESCo were engaged to design a new low carbon heating and lighting system, which was financed through a combination of grants funding and community fundraising
Community energy groups can deliver low-carbon heating projects at lower cost than the private sector, in addition to bringing benefits such as community ownership, job creation, and reduced energy costs.
