Community Solar at Mount Kelly Swim Centre
Tamar Energy Community (TEC) has added an additional solar rooftop to Community Solar.
Working in partnership with Mount Kelly Foundation, TEC has installed 100kW of solar PV on the Mount Kelly Swim Centre. This will help offset carbon as the Swim Centre is able to use power from the sun. Find out more at tamarenergycommunity.com/solar.
Young Solar
TEC is gathering a lot of data from our community solar installations, but we’re not using it as well as we might. We’re working with Plymouth University’s Low Carbon Devon programme to look at opportunities for more automation. At the same time, supported by a small amount of funding from Younity’s Community Power Fund, we’re really keen to connect with young people locally, who are interested in understanding more about solar generation as well as home energy consumption. Interested? Email hello@tamarenergycommunity.com.
Warmer Healthier Homes
Tamar Energy Community (TEC) is delighted to be working with West Devon CVS and other stakeholders across West Devon to deliver our Warmer Healthier Homes (WHH) programme which is funded by Redress. This pilot programme looks at how we can address fuel poverty and unhealthy homes across the area through a more joined up approach. A key part involves setting up a village partnership in a number of villages in West Devon, including Bere Alston, Lifton and Princetown. The village partnership brings together key stakeholders including the parish council, primary care trust, and community organisations such as the foodbank, church, school etc. to share concerns about health conditions and hard to heat housing within each village. Villagers will be invited to have an energy advice call or a visit; funding will then be sought as needed to improve insulation, heating etc. for the household.
If you’re interested in being involved or would like a home call/visit email hello@tamarenergycommunity.com, and check out tamarenergycommunity.com/energy-advice or call 0800-233-5414.
