Vote for Community-Owned Renewable Energy Projects in Nottinghamshire

EnergyShare, a new scheme set up by British Gas to distribute millions of pounds of funding to community-owned renewable energy projects, is looking for your votes for projects – including some in Nottinghamshire.

 After thousands of groups around the country registered on the site earlier this year, just 100 were chosen to go through to the next round of votes – including Meadows Ozone Energy Services Limited, The Greener Youth Club, Edwalton Primary School, Newstead Wind and Willow Wind, all in Nottinghamshire. Now, those groups need your vote to be chosen to receive a share of £500,000 worth of funding towards their community-owned renewable project.

 Vote here: www.energyshare.com/groups/fund100/.

 The projects with the most supporters will be told in December.Don’t worry if you didn’t register with the scheme – this is the first of several promised rounds which, in total, will distribute £3 million to community-owned renewable energy projects around the UK over the next three years.
