Go Greener Faster: Council grant funds community workshops for renewable energy.
Energise South Downs is running a series of renewable energy workshops for communities across the district, supported by the council’s Go Greener Faster grants scheme.
Participants at the Future Energy Landscapes workshops can learn about the benefits of locally generated renewable energy, how it can power communities and help reduce their carbon footprint. They are open to everyone who wants to learn more about renewable energy, whether they are a supporter, or have concerns about what the transition away from fossil fuels may mean for their local area. Everyone is invited to join the conversation.
Upcoming Future Energy Landscapes workshops are taking place in the following areas:
Shedfield, Swanmore, Waltham Chase – 10am–12.30pm Saturday 25 January
Otterbourne – 7pm–9.30pm – Tuesday 4 February
East Meon – 7pm–9.30pm – Wednesday 5 March
Denmead – 7pm–9.30pm – Tuesday 11 March

Councillor Kelsie Learney, Cabinet Member for Climate Emergency said: “The brilliant thing about these workshops is that they truly put the community at the heart of their future energy options. We know that many people across the district are keen to explore renewable energy and take action, and these workshops will help local communities learn more or even discuss their concerns. We know it will take all our collective efforts to provide the greener, cleaner future we all hope for and reach our ambitious target of being a carbon neutral district by 2030. Our hope is that many people come along and join the conversation.”
