 The year is 2040. Growing your own veg, active travel, renewable energy, more public benches than you can shake a stick at... What's your dream scenario?
Toby joined Transition Town Tooting's 'Town Anywhere' event this week, where he time travelled to a futuristic town in the year 2040 to create the blueprint of our dreams. In this futuristic town called 'Anywhere', one thing's for certain: the people value community.  Earlier this week, we hosted our 'Take control of your energy for good' webinar to share energy advice and tips to help you make your home and business more energy efficient.
In case you missed it, CREW directors Armelle, Toby and Steve shared lots of useful information on energy saving and renewable tech. You'll find links to some of this below, along with the slides, which give some representative examples of cost, savings and payback for your home.  We were delighted to be joined by Leah Robson, director of Your Energy Your Way, at our recent Sustainable You event in partnership with Climate Action Wandsworth.
There, she presented on domestic heat pumps and getting more women installers into the workforce. In a recent interview with Independent, she addresses even more common questions. Here are some key takeaways:

We recently launched the first phase in an exciting new project with Enable Parks and Wandsworth Council to repower Battersea Park's Victorian waterfalls, known as the Cascades, with clean energy
 Head still spinning from last week's energy price cap news? Whether you were already struggling with utility bills or energy debt or you're worried what this might mean for you, we know it's a lot right now. Information, changes, bill switching. It's overwhelming if you don't know where to start.
If you want to learn more about what's happening right now, Citizens Advice, Martin Lewis and Energy UK have some useful, accessible information. But if you need immediate support with your utility bills, our energy advisors are here to help. We can offer personalised advice that's best suited to you and your home, so you know exactly what you can do to improve your situation. We'll help you:
If you're eligible, we can even provide fuel vouchers and free energy saving devices, or come to your home and help you make changes there and then. Contact our SWLEAP team for free, impartial advice and support today: ☎️ 0800 086 2706 📧 [email protected]  The recent energy and cost-of-living crises have been driving more people than ever into fuel poverty. While we host regular energy advice sessions in local community hubs and provide free advice over the phone, more needs to be done at a national level to support lasting, sustainable change.
One potential avenue being discussed at the moment is the pricing structure of energy tariffs and how a shift could help to shape consumer behavior, address fuel poverty, and achieve net zero targets – namely rising block tariffs and time-of-use tariffs.  Living in London and worried about climate change? Us too.
You might be wondering how you can make a difference, or feel confused about where to start – where better than in your own home? Booking an energy assessment with one of CREW Energy’s trained energy auditors can help you understand your energy use, pinpoint where you’re wasting energy, helping you save money, and make your home more efficient.  Repowering London and CREW Energy launched new partnerships yesterday with SGN, the
regional gas distribution network, to fight fuel poverty in South London. The launch event in Clapham saw community stakeholders come together to talk about ideas and opportunities for working together to best support residents not only now, but as we head into winter.  As we embrace the peak of summertime (although the weather may not be reflecting this) we have also entered the second week of Community Energy Fortnight, a nationwide campaign involving hundreds of organisations to showcase all things good about community energy.
This year's theme is #EmpowerCommunityEnergy, so we thought we'd shine a light on some of the ways our community energy group is empowering our community to take control of their energy usage, reduce costs and carbon! |
