Community Energy Information Event - Wednesday 27 March, The Weatherly Centre, Biggleswade
Never has the need to tackle the climate emergency been more urgent - join us and find out how you can be part of the solution in tackling the climate emergency.
Join us at our Community Energy Information Event to be held at the Weatherly Centre in Biggleswade on Wednesday 27 March, from 6 p.m. to 8.p.m.
Why should I attend?
This event is for residents who are interested in creating local energy groups to deliver local energy projects.
You will find out how you, your group or business can get involved and what support there is to help you become a catalyst for change in tackling the carbon emergency through community ownership and leadership.
We have teamed up with Community Energy South to support the development of community led renewable energy projects throughout Central Bedfordshire.
Working in partnership they will provide the support and advice necessary to help start community led renewable energy projects that will benefit your communities and work towards reducing carbon emissions and tackling fuel poverty.
During the event we will provide an introduction into community energy from our partner Community Energy South. You will also hear from Cllr. Tracey Wye, Central Bedfordshire’s Executive Member for Sustainability and Climate Resilience who will explain how this initiative fits within the council’s sustainability plan. There will also be an opportunity to talk with individuals from established community energy groups already operating in the area.
Who should attend?
The event is aimed at groups and individuals in the Biggleswade, Potton, Stotfold, Fairfield, River Ivel area, and all the surrounding parishes.
What is a community energy project?
Community energy projects are initiatives led by local communities, with an emphasis on community ownership, leadership or control, where the community benefits.

They can include things like wind turbines or solar farms that have been set up by local people or aim to benefit the community, community groups offering energy advice to people in their neighbourhood, green tariff switches and car sharing clubs.
