News on Community Energy Plan

Our Yatton and Kenn workshop will be taking place on Saturday 2nd April , 10:00 - 14:00 at Yatton Methodist Church.

It will be run by the Centre for Sustainable Energy, an independent national charity, who are holding the workshop on behalf of North Somerset Council to find out your views on renewable energy. The workshop is for everyone, you don’t need to know anything about renewable energy. A free lunch will be provided. Please note the workshop is for the full duration, 10:00 - 14:00, not a drop-in session. An online consultation on this platform will follow the workshop for wider community engagement.

In the workshop we'll be exploring:

After the workshop, we will share what was said, and other outputs, such as maps showing potential areas for renewable energy, online on this website. Everyone will then have the opportunity to view these and share their opinions. This consultation will be open for a month. The outputs from the workshop and consultation will influence North Somerset Council’s policies on renewable energy.
