North Lincolnshire Community Energy, of which I’m a member, launched the community share offer to raise money to help North Lincs schools and community buildings install solar panels free of charge, and I’m delighted to say that the take-up has been phenomenal and local people have helped raise £576,000!
The minimum investment was set at £50, and local residents have been encouraged to invest in a community share.
Buildings that have already had their panels installed have seen a 75% saving on electricity bills!
This is fantastic news and I’d like to thank everyone who was able to take part for doing so – a real community effort!
