Onshore Renewable Energy: Common Myths

Myths and misconceptions about renewables can create unnecessary obstacles to the UK’s clean energy transition, fuelling uncertainty and public concern.
Developed with the Parliamentary Renewable & Sustainable Energy Group, this easy-to-read guide delves into the myths surrounding renewable energy technologies including solar, wind, battery storage, heat and grid infrastructure, and provides evidence-based responses. It addresses a wide range of common concerns, including costs, land use, noise, safety and the reliability of renewable energy sources.

Bishop’s Castle carbon footprint: why we need this project

The average Carbon Footprint per household in Bishop’s Castle is about 9% higher than the national average. However, other markers: Consumption, Food and Waste are considerably lower. The stand-out difference is seen in the graph at the link below where energy use in Bishop’s Castle’s homes is 45% higher than the national average. The reason for this is that Bishop’s Castle is not on the Gas Grid and the majority of homes have to use oil, wood and even coal for their heating and hot water. Combined with this is the fact that the Town has many old and hard-to-heat homes that are not suitable for Heat Pumps. This project is the best way to enable more affordable and sustainable energy for Bishop’s Castle.
