Hi

In just 3 weeks of promotion, Selce’s 6th Share Offer has reached its target!

MASSIVE THANKS to everyone who invested, funding the upgrade of 285 lightbulbs at Marvels Lane Primary to energy efficient LEDs!

– Thanks to you all, the school is projected to save a projected £79,000 over 10 years, reducing emissions by an equivalent of around 71,000kg in CO2 in the process!

– This now becomes Selce’s 11th community-financed LED lighting site, in total covering 5,454 fittings, and around £78k in annual savings.

The work to replace 285 lightbulbs is planned to take place over the Easter holidays, starting next week – so the improved wellbeing from better lighting, money and carbon saving can all kick in as soon as next term begins!

Any project surplus also goes to supporting Selce’s fuel poverty alleviation programme.

Thanks again to all of our members who took part – by investing together, there’s so much we can do for people and planet. We are stronger together.

Campaign for Community Energy to Be Able to Sell Energy Directly to Local Homes and Businesses

Power for People is coordinating a national campaign for Government legislation to support community energy projects to sell energy directly to local homes and businesses.

This would make many more projects possible and create the opportunity for local people to buy affordable clean energy generated in their community - find out more.
