Join us at Sheepstor Village Hall on 19th June at 19:30 for an evening of reflection and discussion on the Thermal Imaging Camera Scheme. We will share findings and explore next steps. We will also be exploring opportunities for a community-driven approach to energy in Sheepstor.
Discover insights from the scheme, including how householders participated and what was learned.
We will also discuss practical steps the village can take to improve home and community energy efficiency while reducing costs.
There will also be an opportunity to request use of the thermal imaging camera next season.
Enjoy refreshments and a chance to connect with others in the community before diving into the evening’s discussions. Everyone is welcome. Bring your questions, experiences, and ideas as we work towards a cosy, efficient, and future-ready Sheepstor.
What is Community Energy?
Community energy is a way for local people to take control of their energy use and supply by generating, sharing, and managing renewable energy and energy use within their area. It helps reduce reliance on large utility companies, can keep energy costs lower and retain more money within the local economy, and supports sustainability.
How does it work?
Local energy clubs take this idea further by allowing householders to buy and sell excess energy within their community at a fairer rate. Instead of surplus energy going back to the grid, it stays local, benefiting members with lower costs and encouraging renewable energy use. These clubs create a more resilient and affordable energy system while keeping profits within the community.
Here’s an example of a local energy club which has recently (Tuesday 3rd June 25) been on the BBC One Show: https://tresoc.co.uk/project/energy-local-totnes/
