Tisbury

Nadder Community Energy (NCE) is currently investigating the feasibility of setting up an Energy Local Club in Tisbury. If established, the club would enable locally-generated solar power to be bought by local consumers at a fair price.  As residents of Tisbury and the surrounding area you would be able to take advantage of the solar power generated in the local area to save money on your electricity bills, while supporting local green electricity generation and helping Tisbury to become more sustainable.

We will be talking to local residents over the next few months to gauge interest and you can find out more at the following events:

• Tis the Season – 7 December 2024: Come and see us at the NCE stall on the High Street
• Public Information Session – 23 January 2025 at 7.30pm in the Victoria Hall: We will be holding a public meeting for anyone that is interested to find out more about the club, how it would work, and what the benefits would be.
• Public Information Session – 27 March 2025 at 7.30pm in the Victoria Hall: If you can’t make it to the January meeting, or you have questions to ask please come along to the second information session.

You will also find information in Focus Magazine and on the TisTalk Podcast over the next few months.

To join a future club you will need to:

• be in the Tisbury Electricity Substation area (see map below).
• be able to switch energy company, (therefore be out of contract or willing to pay an exit fee to your present energy supplier, if there is one).
• have a smart meter or be happy for one to be installed.
• be able to shift some of your electricity demand to times in the day when the sun is shining and therefore, when there will be lots of extra energy.

If you are interested, would like to know more and be kept informed as plans progress, please click the I am interested button. Please note that registering interest does not commit you to joining the club if it goes ahead.

The map below shows the area covered by the Tisbury Electricity Substation & therefore the extent of the club should it come into being.

How Energy Local works

The feasibility study is being funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and supported by the Southwest Net Zero Hub. NCE won the funding following a successful bid to the Government’s Community Energy Fund (CEF). CEF is a national £10m grant scheme for communities to develop energy projects that will benefit their local area. The funding supports community groups to consider options, design schemes and overcome barriers to investment. The fund is being delivered in the South West by the South West Net Zero Hub on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
