Sustainable Wales wants to help 500 south-facing (+/- up to 45 degrees) households with the installation of solar photo voltaics. This will contribute to the G-Cel consortium’s initial target of 2500 homes. This could save an estimated 3000 tonnes of C02 per year, while helping low-income households deal with fuel poverty.

Project Development Officer, Rob McGhee said, “This project will make a real difference for householders feeling the effects of rising energy prices as well as supporting community organisations suffering from the government cuts. To find out more or help contact, Sustainable Wales’ on 01656 783405 or email info. There is a page devoted to the issue on www.sustainablewales.org. Hard copy leaflets are available from SUSSED at 92, John St. Or the SW office.
