If you are interested in comunity-owned renewables then this event is for you!
This free one-day workshop is for community group members, individuals, councillors and planners with an interest in local planning and low-carbon development.
It will help you to engage with local planning and low-carbon development – and to understand how you can generate local energy.
The events will feature the PlanLoCaL model, a large-scale model of a town demonstrating how renewable energy technologies work, and the PlanLoCaL films, which include case studies and information on how to set up community-owned renewable energy projects. There will be a local keynote speaker at each event to provide a local context.
Sessions will focus on how communities can get involved in local plan making, different kinds of renewable energy technologies, climate change adaptation, community engagement, and funding issues. All community groups represented will receive a comprehensive handout pack, including DVDs.
See the fliers below for more details.
Funded by Groundwork East Midlands, these workshops are run by the Centre for Sustainable Energy in association with Marches Energy Agency.
