Introduction to Community Energy

Join this online session on community energy from Ewan Boyd of Teesdale Environmental Consulting (TEC Ltd.) and VONNE's Going Green Together programme, for a detailed and practical introduction to community energy.

"Community energy" can refer to a wide range of energing saving and energy generating projects. It's an important piece of the puzzle in tackling the cost of living, by reducing the use of expensive fossil fuels, and protecting our communities and future generations against the climate crisis, through reducing harmful carbon emissions. This session will cover the options available, where to begin, what the process involves, and how to make the most of community energy schemes.

All voluntary, community, and social enterprises from the North East and Cumbria are invited to this session, which will involve a presentation followed by a chance to ask questions.
