Ealing Transition Renewable Energy Group

Following our very successful Renewable Energy Conference in October, when over 60 people came to hear about the benefits and practicalities of installing solar panels, we have been researching the possibility of creating a local buyers group through which we could get a significant discount on the costs of installations through acting together. There are other similar schemes set up by Transition Towns, notably TT Marlow, which are proving very successful. See: this

We are also exploring the possibility of creating a local co-operative which could enable investment in renewable energy schemes by those who don.t have the opportunity to undertake an installation on their own property.

At present we are collecting names of those who are interested and gathering ideas and information.

If you are interested in either of these proposals, do make contact and add your name to our group. We will share ideas and suggestions as they develop.

Please contact Grant Venner (grantvenner@yahoo.co.uk) or Trevor Sharman (trevorsharman@radix.wanadoo.co.uk).
