Delivering community renewable energy for Devon
We are a community financed, social business providing profitable, renewable energy.
What We Do
We develop community-owned renewable energy in Devon. We aim to reduce our local carbon footprint and lower our dependence on imported energy in partnership with schools, businesses and local people.
Featured on the radio
In 2018 we had a fab new project running over a few Saturdays – we teamed up with Soundart Radio and their new club for young people. Great young presenters learned about different aspects of renewable energy by grilling us and our partners, who also sponsored the shows. Renewable energy education is very much part of our remit and this proved a fun way to do it. Do listen.
Our Aims
Totnes Renewable Energy Society (TRESOC) is an IPS formed by a group of local residents in 2007. Its aim is to empower the local community to develop and control its own renewable energy supplies and to ensure that the maximum value resulting from the development of local resources is retained by the community.
TRESOC aims:
To develop the profitable supply of energy from renewable resources for the benefit of the community centred in Totnes and the surrounding area.
To ensure the democratic control of renewable energy resources, by the local community, through the establishment of an extensive membership of the Society.
To ensure that the maximum value from development of these resources shall be retained within the local economy.
To provide an opportunity for public-spirited people and organisations to contribute financially to the community with the expectation of a social dividend as well as a financial return.
WHY IS JOINING YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY ENERGY SOCIETY A GOOD IDEA?
