Renewable heat & heat networks @ Exeter > Tues 4th July

SidEnergy is going to an event in Exeter tomorrow night:
Futures Forum: The latest from SidEnergy > the community energy group for the Sid Valley

If you'd like to go along - just go along!


 Renewable heat & heat networks:
Current opportunities for Exeter & Community Energy groups
 

July 4th 18.45 to 20.45, Meeting Room,
Stephens Scown Solicitors LLP, Southernhay, Exeter, EX1 1RS
Come along to ECOE’s next event and find out more about renewable heat and heat networks.


Larger public authority heat network projects seem to be having more success than smaller community energy projects. Our speakers will talk about their varied experiences with heat projects to help our understanding regarding what projects are viable nowadays.

Refreshments will be provided. The flyer for the meeting and loads of other info can be found on our website

Hydro-electricity Project

ECOE is investigating the possibility of a community-owned hydro electricity project at Trews Weir and have met with Exeter City Council (ECC) to discuss it. ECOE may have to bid against commercial companies in order to pursue the project, although this has not been definitely decided yet.

Your support might be able to influence ECC’s decision. Please write or email your ECC councillor asking them to contact The Deputy Chief Exec: Mark Parkinson (who deals with Energy) and ask him to take into consideration the additional social benefit which would be provided if the contract for Trews Weir goes to ECOE and factor this into their evaluation of any tenders. Otherwise, there is a danger that this decision will purely be made on cost grounds and the social impact and value of the community dimension will be overlooked.
