Community Energy Programme.

Our hall is participating in a feasibility study as part of the new DEAL Community Energy programme. Delivered by Durham Community Action, the Rural Design Centre and CAIRN partners, the project is assessing 15 community buildings across County Durham to understand their potential for solar PV and battery storage.

The study, funded by GB Energy, will help us explore opportunities for clean energy generation and reducing our running costs. As one of the participating sites, we will keep our community informed throughout the process and share updates as the findings develop.

For more information about the wider project, please contact the Rural Design Centre: hilary.anderson@ruraldesigncentre.com
