Conference - Renewable Energy in Winchester District

Tue 17/07/12 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

A Winchester Action on Climate Change conference in partnership with the University
of Winchester

Winchester District aims to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by the end of 2015. Since the 2004 starting point we have saved about 10%; we need to cut our emissions by another 200,000 tonnes. A new Government-funded report on renewable energy in Winchester District has found that a comparatively small number of large
renewable-energy projects would achieve this. The alternative is every single household in the District cutting its energy use by a third, or taking a quarter of our vehicles off the roads.
The conference will present:
• Realistic ways forward, based on the report;
• How developers set up commercial renewable-energy schemes, by Darren Cummins,
Development Manager, EDF Energy Renewables Ltd;
• How communities can benefit from developers’ schemes or their own schemes (with a
short film).

WinACC invites debate and discussion about the way forward locally.
