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 who are portfollio holders for planning and/or environment and local authority planners.

 

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. All community groups represented will receive a comprehensive PlanLoCal pack.
 
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.
