Dear all, 

Lets kick start a discussion… one that alot of us have all been talking about over the last few months, taking the network forwards. 

Do you have solar panels on your business or residential property? Would you like to be involved in a trial of new energy saving technology?

Easton Energy Group are delighted to announce a new scheme in partnership with local company Sustain to offer free insulation measures worth around £15,000 to each household in Easton, which should save hundreds of pounds a year on energy bills.

So we are coming up to the home straight of putting the solar tree together. John Packer the sculptor is fabricating the metal structure as you read this.

We would really love for the extensive network of you who are involved in community energy projects and environmental initiatives to get involved and help us make the solar PV leaves to the tree.

We are excited to announce that Bristol University has provided a grant to support an exchange of knowledge and skills between members of the university and Bristol Energy Network over the next 6 months or so. The grant aims to help facilitate the process of maintaining momentum for community energy policy and activities in the wake of the LEAF grants.

As promised, here is some more detailed CSE guidance to help support groups and organisations planning to apply for the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP)Communities Scheme. It is a new fund from the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to encourage take up of domestic renewable heating technologies and reduce carbon emissions. You can read more about the scheme here.
