At a recent public meeting, a new three year plan of actions for 2018-2020 was presented where plans to explore the feasibility of establishing a new Sustainable Energy Community was announced as a key element of its new strategic plan.
A Sustainable Energy Community [SEC] is an active community in which everyone works together to develop a sustainable energy system. The aim as a first step is to be as energy efficient as possible and to use renewable energy where feasible.
An SEC can include all of the different energy user groups in the community including homes, elderly care & special needs, businesses, services, community centers, sports clubs & churches.
Perhaps the greatest benefit is the opportunity for all community groups to get involved and share knowledge, insights and mistakes made, to meet & exchange experience with other members of the community who may be planning or have carried out energy efficiency projects.
Charleville Tidy Towns will be hosting additional public community briefings over the coming months and welcome all community expressions of interest for involvement in the SEC and will focus its feasibility scoping study on areas of highest community involvement.
If you would like to participate in or share you energy expertise or input into a specific focus area of the SEC as listed above please contact Charleville Tidy Towns , in confidence, on community@charlevilletidytowns.ie
We forward to hearing from you and will keep you posted of all SEC briefing events and the formation of all SEC specific interest groups.
