It’s a big…….DEAL!

Big news from the Rural Design Centre. We have secured funding from Great British Energy and the North East & Yorkshire Net Zero Hub to carry out feasibility studies on 15 community buildings, exploring the potential for solar PV and battery storage. We have procured Sustainable Energy Engineering Ltd to deliver the technical studies, ensuring each project is robust, viable and ready to progress.

This funding also supports the creation of Durham Energy Association Limited (DEAL), set up to help community spaces develop, own and benefit from local renewable energy, keeping savings and resilience where they are needed most. Working alongside our partners at Durham Community Action, we are scaling community energy across County Durham, helping communities cut costs, build resilience and take control of their energy future 🌱⚡

If you have a community building in County Durham and would like to learn more about DEAL community energy, get in touch to find out more.

A big DEAL for Durham.
