The Best Guide for the Neston Area

Hoping to Enable Community Energy Generation in Neston...

... with support from as many local people as possible.

Local volunteers from Neston and Parkgate, who want to play their part in reducing reliance on fossil fuels and addressing energy justice, join together to create Neston Community Energy. 

The aim of the group is to generate electricity from solar and wind power locally, create energy storage, and use any profits to provide energy efficiency materials to benefit the community.

Members of Neston Community Energy, Andy Mills and Robert Thrift, said, "Community energy schemes have been set up successfully throughout the country, Chester included. It's time for Neston to join the growing numbers of people who want to take action to improve the chances of avoiding a worsening climate crisis and further energy injustice.

"With this in mind, we are holding a meeting for anyone interested to come along and find out more. These are early stages, but we are excited about the prospects of what we can achieve when we work together."

For those who are interested in hearing more about taking this project forward, or have any expertise or experience they could share, there will be a meeting at Neston Community and Youth Centre on Burton Road, Neston, at 7 pm on Tuesday 19 March.

These panels are ugly enough on roofs and to install field after field of them is too much. Why not install them on Llandegla Moor? Plants and trees require CO2 and may die without it. The hole in the ozone layer is constantly opening and then repairing itself and has done so for ever.

I am glad there are more forward thinking people around than you Dennis. We have solar and already wondering how we got by without it. I wish I had done it ten years ago. generating all day and running the washing machine and cooker from sunlight and selling what we don't need back to the grid. My panels are helping power your energy consumption from sunlight.

Surely it is an incredibly polarised opinion to not see this as a good thing?
