The Big Solar Co-op is a not-for-profit, carbon-first and volunteer-led organisation.

They are solarising commercial and community buildings all over the UK from doctors surgeries to factories and everything in between.

If you’ve got a big roof and a big energy bill then they can design, build and own solar on your roof – no capital cost, super energy and carbon savings.

If you want to see more solar in your area and have some time to volunteer they can train and support you to make it happen.

If you have some cash to invest, they run community share offers.

See https://bigsolar.coop/ for more information.

A Transition Malvern Hills Event

22nd October 2021 Malvern Cube, Albert Road North, Malvern.  WR14 2YF

Doors open 7.30pm

Transition Malvern Hills is bringing together voluntary groups whose work contributes to Carbon Reduction and Biodiversity

This Event is about taking action. It will give everyone present the opportunity to find their way of increasing their contribution to the extremely urgent tasks we face with the 2 connected challenges of reducing our Carbon Footprint and reversing mankind's devastating impact on Biodiversity.

We know governments and the business community have the major role to play and the public's campaigning is piling the pressure on. We also know we can all make a significant difference with changes in our lifestyle most of which have significant gains for us personally. Many of the changes we need to make are made much easier if community based structures are created to help us. This evening will focus on how we can volunteer to take action both in our lives and helping others with these enabling community structures. Some examples of these already created are the Repair Café, The Car Share Club, Energy Coop and many more will be at the event.

What are the next initiatives that we can create in the Malvern Area?

What action can we take in our lives?

Manchester based Carbon Co-op is an energy services and advocacy co-operative that helps people and communities to make the radical reductions in home carbon emissions necessary to avoid runaway climate change.

They have held a series of webinars on retrofitting homes to reduce their carbon footprint. They have now released records of the webinars here. I would recommend the one on "People Powered Retrofit – a neighbourhood model for new retrofit markets"

Aura Power is proposing a solar farm on land to north of Broad Lane, near Bishampton, Worcestershire. The proposed location falls within the district of Wychavon, and the parish of Bishampton. The solar farm will generate enough electricity to power 11,650 homes, thereby saving 14,300 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year.

As well as generating renewable energy, the proposals also include measures to improve biodiversity and ecology at the site, sheep grazing to manage the land, and a community benefit fund to be spent on local educational, social and environmental projects. Aura is particularly keen to find out from local people what projects might benefit from the funding.

They are having a online public consultation webinar and Q&A session on Tuesday 28th July 6pm
