This free event will help community groups, individuals and councillors engage with local planning and low-carbon development – and help them to understand how they can generate local energy. If you or your group is interested in community-owned renewables then this is the event for you!
The events will feature the PlanLoCaL model, a large-scale model of a town demonstrating how renewable energy technologies work, and the
PlanLoCaL films, which include
case studies and information on how to set up community-owned renewable energy projects. There will be a local keynote speaker at each event to provide a local context. All local groups represented will receive a comprehensive PlanLoCaL pack (see photo)
.
Funded by Groundwork East Midlands, these workshops are run by the Centre for Sustainable Energy in association with Marches Energy Agency
Sessions will focus on how communities can get involved in local plan making, different kinds of renewable energy technologies, climate change adaptation, community engagement, and funding issues. All community groups represented will receive a comprehensive handout pack, including DVDs.
