Come along to Easton’s sports, fun and energy day on Saturday 30th November at Easton Community Centre, 1-6pm.
An event for building contractors, installers and architects to hear first hand from the Planning Department and the Strategic Energy Unit of Bristol City Council, it’s retrofit plans, and how the demand for the city can be achieved by local contractors.
Prepare for change 8th workshop, 1pm – 4.30pm
“Energy – global, long term perspectives: for what should we prepare?”
There are many reports and policy statements on energy supply, distribution and demand for the UK, but what is the global context and what are the trends, and the different forecasts and opinions for the future?
Energy is vital for all aspects of society yet we are faced with great uncertainty. These are some of the questions that this workshop will consider:
What are the development pathways for existing technologies? What new technologies might emerge?
What might future global energy systems look like? How might this affect the UK and therefore Bristol?
Are there any strategies that organisations in a city like Bristol could adopt to best prepare for change?
The workshop will, as usual, report on the horizon scanning that the Prepare for Change Monitoring Unit has done since the last workshop, looking at the consequences for the region.
Join us for the next network meeting where we’ll be discussing:
The Community Strategy for Energy: Time for Action!
Having published the Community Strategy for Energy in June, it is time to develop a plan of action. How does the network translate its ambitions into a reality? How can community groups succeed in delivering the themes mapped out in the strategy?
Today ‘energy’ is something that is taken for granted, we’ve forgotten how extraordinary it actually is. How we make and use energy is one of the most urgent issues facing the UK, impacting on our economy, the bills we pay and the environment we live in.
Today ‘energy’ is something that is taken for granted – find out about The British Energy Challenge and how you can help.

This event will focus on funding, with several funders present including a representative from the Rural Community Renewable Energy Fund. This is another great opportunity for communities in the south west to get together and share learning as well as find ways to finance projects.
