New co-operative aims to install £300,000 worth of solar arrays in and around West Sussex village, reports BusinessGreen
Residents of Balcombe, the Sussex village which last summer became the centre of anti-fracking protests, have formed a new co-operative that aims to harness the power of the sun for electricity.
The new REPOWER Balcombe co-operative initially aims to raise £300,000 in a community share offering for six solar arrays on roofs in and around the village that will supply 7.5% of the village’s power demand.
