Community Energy Questionnaire

Sustainable Overton Energy Group is looking at options for Community Energy projects in Overton. This will investigate the feasibility of local renewable energy generation, as well as promoting home energy efficiency and giving advice on where to go for help with energy bills and home installation.

This questionnaire will help us to gather your views on this, and understand your energy needs and identify opportunities to help you reduce your energy bills.
