About
This website has been developed for the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Local Authorities’ Energy Partnership (LAEP) to raise awareness about climate change and encourage individuals to take positive steps towards a low carbon lifestyle.
LAEP – Local Authorities' Energy Partnership
The LAEP was formed in 1996 and comprises all 20 councils in the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire area, including the Peak District National Park Authority. The LAEP’s aims are to promote sustainable energy use and energy efficiency and to reduce carbon emissions and alleviate fuel poverty.
MEA - Marches Energy Agency
MEA is one of the UK's leading sustainable energy and climate change social enterprises and an independent, registered charity. Created in 1995 MEA strives in all of its work to "create the climate for change" and has a wealth of experience in delivering local, regional, national, European and international projects.
MEA is a DO tank, not a THINK tank. Our mission is to address the sustainable energy delivery gap. The gap between what is being said and what is being done.
Our aim is to encourage three D's - Demand reduction (using less), Decarbonisation (low carbon sources of energy) and Decentralisation (more local energy production and supply). This will help deliver on the UK's commitment to the climate change challenge, whilst helping to ensure that there is a sustainable, secure and affordable supply of energy for everyone. We aim to contribute to these goals in ways that strengthen the economic capability of the areas in which we work.
MEA has a highly qualified, creative and vibrant workforce that is focused on solutions. We seek to inspire, educate and offer practical help to individuals, private and public sector organisations, and communities to help them to firstly understand climate change and our wider energy challenges, and then to become part of the solution.
