PlanLoCal Green Deal for Community Energy Projects

Posted on the 28 January 2013 by Dorsetenergized @dorsetenergized

The Centre of Sustainable Energy have launched a new resource ‘PlanLoCaL: energy efficiency and community Green Deal’ which is now available on their new PlanLoCaL website to coincide with the national launch of the Green Deal!

PlanLoCaL is a suite of resources and films to help communities plan for Low Carbon Living. This new pack includes information sheets, case studies, templates and tools. It provides lots of guidance on some tricky and complicated issues so that you don’t have to start from scratch. The aim is to help community groups to make the most out of the Green Deal and gain a better understanding of how to set up and run successful community-led energy efficiency projects in their local area.

Here’s their new video to spread the word about how communities can benefit from energy efficiency programms under the Green Deal:

Development of the resource was supported by a grant from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and draws on the collective knowledge and experience of staff at the Centre for Sustainable Energy. They have tried to address all of the questions and comments that have been fed in by community groups across the country to make the resource as useful as possible. They’ll also be producing a printed version of the resource in the near future.

I hope you will support the new resource and share this post!
