What is an Energy Local Club

TRESOC has enabled a pilot Energy Local Plus Club to be set up in Totnes using locally generated solar electricity. We are looking for 10 people to take part in the first initial beta group. If you are interested, you will need to:

  • be in the Totnes Electricity Substation area (see map below).
  • be able to switch to Green Energy UK (now rebranded as 100Green) this June, so be out of contract about then 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 at which times you will be eligible for the cheaper local rate.
  • be patient as we will be the first Energy Local club to use 100Green so there might be a few teething problems.
  • be prepared to accept a 'deep green' tariff with 100Green (which is higher at times than some standard domestic tariffs) when you are not using locally-generated electricity.

(N.B. You should not be spending more than 10% of your income on energy bills or be in fuel poverty. This is a pilot scheme, so we are looking to test the Energy Local concept locally to make sure it saves people money before we can roll it out on a larger scale).

If you are interested and able to take part, please click the I am interested button below.
