*** Local Energy Assessment Fund (LEAF) ***

Cwmdu Sustainable Energy Group (CSEG) has recently secured a grant nearly £15,000 from the Local Energy Assessment Fund (LEAF) a government initiative run by the Department of Energy and Climate Change.


We have been awarded this grant for these specific purposes:

• To help each resident and business in the Cwmdu area complete an energy use questionnaire. This will help you save money by identifying your current energy use, where you are losing heat and what practical measures you could take to reduce this.

• To hire an infrared camera so we can photograph properties to see where heat loss is taking place.

• To carry out a feasibility study into installing a suitable heat pump at the village hall to provide hot water and heating. This would enable the current oil fired boiler to be replaced and reduce running costs.

• To assess the Rhiangoll Valley for potential sites to install micro-hydro schemes to generate electricity, with the possibility of creating at least one income source for the community to fund events and initiatives.

• To compile a public report that will give an overview how energy is being used within our village. (N.B. No individual properties will be identified in this report, other than the village hall and church.)
