Community Energy Open Day - Winsley, Holt, Bradford-on-Avon & S. Wraxall

About this event

Join us for an open day to explore how community-owned renewable energy could benefit your area. These are clean energy projects that are designed, owned, and led by local people, with the benefits staying in the community, depending on what’s suitable for your area. This is a drop-in event, so you can come at any time and stay for as long or as little as you want.

No prior knowledge needed - just curiosity and a willingness to get involved.

• Visit stalls, listen to talks, and share your thoughts
• Opening talks at 11am and 12.30pm to introduce the wider project (repeated)
• Hot drinks and sweet treats provided
• Children’s activities available

Stalls include:

• Possibilities for wind and solar power locally - Centre for Sustainable Energy
• What is “community-owned” energy and how can residents benefit? - Bath & West Community Energy
• Save money on energy bills this winter - Home Energy Team
• How to get involved locally - Climate Friendly Bradford-on-Avon
• Meet the Wiltshire Council climate team

This is your chance to help shape energy projects that are designed and directed by local people.

About this project
