We are delighted to announce that our grant application to the Rural Community Energy Fund to pay for a feasibility study into options for renewable energy generation for our church buildings has been approved (18 March 2021). Options may include ground or roof based solar panels, or other technologies such as heat pumps. We intend that our feasibility study will become a model to be used by other churches in the Diocese (and potentially nationally). We also hope to show to what extent such schemes might be self-financing. This Feasibility Study project is supported by the the BEIS funded Rural Community Energy Fund which is managed by the North East Yorkshire and Humber Energy Hub and administered by Tees Valley Combined Authority. We now have a logo! Many thanks to Abbie Wagstaff for donating her time and expertise and designing this great logo for us.
