On Thursday 21st November we were pleased to attend a Greener Futures Partnership forum in Winchester. We used the opportunity to suggest solar PV for businesses in Winchester, and highlighted opportunities for partnerships between community energy groups and local authorities to help make this happen.
The Greener Futures Partnership provides a forum for organisations to share and collaborate on projects in support of our ambition of becoming a carbon neutral district by 2030. The partnership meets quarterly and focuses specifically on supporting the aims and challenges of reducing our carbon emissions across the district, some of which are outlined in two of Winchester City Council’s key strategic plans: the Carbon Neutrality Action Plan (CNAP) and Green Economic Development Strategy (GEDS).
Member organisations are welcome from all sectors, including housing, community, transport, local business, education, climate, nature and environment and the public sector.
If you believe an organisation that you are a part of should be represented on this forum, email climateemergency@winchester.gov.uk.
