Investing in the future of Community Energy for Lewes
Ovesco is a community benefit company run by local volunteers for the local community in East Sussex
WHAT WE DO
We develop community-owned renewable energy in East Sussex. We want to reduce our local carbon footprint and lower our dependence on imported energy in partnership with schools, businesses and local people.
Our directors calculated that Lewes town uses approx 16MW of electricity to power our homes and businesses. We are building 16MW of community owned renewable generation assets to make the town carbon neutral. So far we have built over 5.25 MW towards our target.
Join us by investing in our projects, supporting new projects and sharing energy saving advice with friends and neighbours
ROOFTOP REGISTRATIONS – March 31st 2019
The end of the Fit programme happens at the end of this month. Community Energy groups have been given a life line to extend project completion dates by an additional year.
OVESCO are rapidly registering as many potential projects as possible before 31st March to ensure we have the widest opportunity to create more community owned solar projects.
In order to register a roof, we need an MPAN number (i.e. the number of the current electricity meter) and also an EPC certificate. If you have a community building – or even business that could benefit from solar, get in touch – swiftly. Best route? email hello@ovesco.co.uk
Quotes from partners and investors:
“A more environmentally friendly approach to energy consumption was something our students had pushed hard to achieve.
We are impressed with the ongoing partnership which has been forged between the school and OVESCO including the support for The Ashden Award.”
“The live readings from our solar panels, along with individual pupils taking responsibility for turning off lights and equipment demonstrate how substantial savings in cost and CO2 terms can be made.”
