SHARE (South Hill Association for Renewable Energy) is in the early stages of looking to set up a local Energy Club
By matching local energy demand to local generation, the club could offer households in the area the chance to pay less for power, while helping to build a resilient, environmentally conscious energy network that benefits your pocket, your community and your planet. You don’t have to be a SHARE member to find out more.
If you would like to know more, join us on September 22nd following the AGM which starts at 7:30pm. There will also be a guest speaker who helped produce a Home Retrofit Guide, to talk about the changes he has made to his home to save energy, there will be free guides to take away.
