Community Energy Day in Lewes 6 September 2013

This is the flagship event for the South East and forms part of Community Energy Fortnight, supported by Forum for the Future, the Co-operatives Group and the Sussex Energy Saving Partnership.

The event is hosted by OVESCo and will launch Community Energy South an umbrella community energy support group that reaches across Sussex, of which BHESCo is a member.

The main conference is aimed at local authority, ward councils, parish councils and emerging groups.

From 4.30pm the event will be open to the public and hosted by Michaela Strachen and Cooperatives UK. This will feature a series of interesting talks on community energy initiatives and is sure to inspire and kick-start lots of action within our communities.  Community energy day showcases the work of community energy groups throughout Sussex, exploring planning policy around solar, community energy and community ownership.
