Last week we told you about the Funding to develop a Business Case for a Community Energy Project and invited you to register for Building a Net Zero Future: Co-Designing Sustainable Neighbourhoods at the Village Hotel on Monday 21st October.
To explain further:The Neighbourhood Plan adopted by Broxtowe Borough Council earlier this year includes a Policy for Community Energy with an aspiration for the area to be Energy Positive. We believe we can start this through a “Rooftop Solar PV project”. The UK Government estimates that the average household in the UK consumes around 3,000kWh of electricity per annum. Modelling households in the area suggests that the average amount of power that could be generated by Solar PV is around 6,000kWh. In other words if half the homes in the area had solar PV, the area would generate as much electricity as it consumes.
The Funding is to generate a Business Case that:
- Verifies these numbers;
- Identifies how much it would cost on a house by house basis;
- Identifies how much it would earn on a house by house basis;
- Identifies how we can generate the funds to take on such an ambitious project
We need your help to develop the Business Case.
