Bawburgh Village
Solar Panels on the Village Hall
As everyone in the village will be acutely aware, energy costs have been increasing. For the Parish Council and Village Hall Committee this has put pressure on the finances of running the village hall.
Fortunately, the Parish Council has been successful in securing over £15,000 of funding for the installation of panels and an electric car charging point at the village hall. Many of you will already have noticed the shiny new panels adorning the roof. The ability for the hall to generate its own electricity will reduce our reliance on the national grid and lead to substantial long-term savings. This has the desirable knock-on effect of reducing the carbon emissions of the hall and aligns with the sustainability goals of the Parish Council.
As part of the conditions for the grant, a car charging point needed to be installed, to assist our local council's aims of providing rural communities with the ability to charge electric vehicles from a sustainable electricity source. This should benefit both those visiting the hall and visitors to family and friends in the village who may need access to a charging point.
