We’re all spending a lot of money on heating and powering our homes (around £16m per year, or £44,000 a day across the Tavistock area). With much of this spend going to the big power companies the majority of the benefit leaves our local economy like a leaking bucket.
Tamar Energy Community is a not for profit, community owned social enterprise run by our members.
We localise energy.
We provide independent energy advice and support, develop community owned renewable energy projects, and are working to understand how local people can gain greater benefit from the changing energy market.
Addressing the Climate and Biodiversity Emergency and how we can Build Back Better is at the core of our work.
We welcome your support in helping us achieve this together.
Tamar Energy Community (TEC) is powering up Tamar Energy Fest once again. Join us on Saturday 22nd November 2025, from 10:00 to 15:00 at Butcher’s Hall, Tavistock. Our theme this year is Power to the People, looking at opportunities to localise our energy and enable greater benefits for our local communities. Find out more here.
We’re delighted to announce the release of a new Retrofit Guide, intended to help residents make home improvements for a healthier and more energy efficient living environment. Find out more here.
