Energy Community Survey

Community energy is all about people coming together, acting and using local resources to reduce, manage or generate their own energy. A community energy project can involve anything from helping residents reduce energy costs to installing low carbon technologies such as solar panels, air source heat pumps, electric vehicle charging or storage batteries.

Community energy has huge potential to reduce our carbon emission and become a Net Zero community.

To help Whitley Bay Big Local’s energy community grow, we would like you to answer a few questions to understand what you think and how we can support you.

Contact: If you have any questions or concerns, please send an email to: community-energy@whitleybaybiglocal.org

By completing and returning this survey, before DD/MM/YYYY you will be eligible to win a Di Mio’s Voucher or a Fisherman’s Bay voucher for £25
