Imagine you and all your neighbours living in warm and comfortable homes, free from fuel bill anxiety, with heating drawn from a community-owned renewable resource.
We're on a mission to make this reality for the village of Tanygrisiau in Eryri/Snowdonia, with a community project linking together energy efficiency retrofitting and locally sourced renewable heat and power.
Our partnership with Cwmni Bro Ffestiniog, Ynni Cymunedol Twrog and Cyngor Gwynedd (Gwynedd Council) has won funding from the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme to develop the project, which will include upskilling local people.
At Energy Local we view local "whole systems" approaches as key to tackling climate change and fuel poverty – with this pioneering project we want to show how this can work in practice.
