Is your organisation interested in developing a community renewable energy project?
Have you considered installing solar panels, a wind turbine or a biomass boiler or would you like to generate energy through a community hydro project?
Generating Success aims to promote and encourage community based renewable projects both, locally in Greater Manchester and further afield. It will demonstrate just how straight forward it really can be and hopefully demystify the process to other groups who just need that extra bit of encouragement.
The project will create a series of community renewables ‘Trailblazers’ i.e. community groups and microenterprises that:
• Wish to develop a renewable energy project benefiting their community
• Serve a local need
• Have a passion for sustainability, and
• Need expert support to make their vision a reality
It is hoped that these projects will inspire other groups to generate their own
renewable energy.
Projects based in the rural ward of Woodhouse Park might be eligible for start-up support from GMCVO’s Generating Success project.
GMCVO’s Community Hubs team, in collaboration with MERCi and The Carbon Co-op, can provide capacity building, project development, technical and enterprise support to eligible projects.
