Community Renewable Energy in Thornbury Discussion Group
Thornbury Active Centre
18:00-20:30
Join us for a friendly discussion to explore locally-owned renewable energy opportunities, with a free buffet and plenty of time for questions. Everyone is welcome – families, neighbours, curious minds.
As funding is now available, communities can explore the technical and business case for locally-owned energy developments in the area. This workshop is part of a series of conversations that have been ongoing since 2024. We are looking at possible next steps, if the community is in support.
This meeting will cover the following topics:
•Community energy and how it works in practice
•The benefits for the Thornbury community
•Discussion of your views on community energy
•Additional technical information about possible areas of interest
•If appropriate, a discussion on which locations you would consider suitable for a renewable energy project that is community-owned
•Summary of next steps and opportunities for Thornbury
Join us in-person OR online!
