The Power in Your Hands is a local community energy initiative running in the Greenlands area of Tavistock for local householders and St. Peter’s School.
- Want to reduce your energy costs?
- Find out more about energy use locally?
- Where our local energy comes from?
- How bills could reduce in the future?

The Power in Your Hands is one of seven community energy pilots running in the UK as part of a graound breaking trial that will provide access to open data on local electricity networks. This should make energy more democratic and benefit you. We’ll be working to see how.
Its part of a project called OpenLV.
This is an exciting project all about electricity. The OpenLV project is making local electricity data openly available for the first time ever and the Greenlands area of Tavistock, together with St. Peter’s School, is one of seven neighbourhoods involved across the S.West, S.Wales and the Midlands.
Your substation is where electricity is turned from a high voltage dangerous current to the low voltage electricity you use at home. Thanks to a piece of kit called an LV-CAP™ we will be able to learn more about electricity use in the Greenlands neighbourhood and work together to change our energy use habits, maybe even saving on our bills as we go!
We’re designing a website to share the data the LV-CAP™ collects, so that local residents and St. Peter’s School can see peaks and dips in electricity demand.
Knowing about our local electricity use means we can try to avoid overloading our substation and in the future, it might even be possible to have electricity tariffs which offer cheaper energy at off-peak times of day.
This video will explain more about OpenLV.
Would you be keen to find out more about the community’s energy use?
