The Halton Carbon Positive project created in partnership with Halton Community Association, Lancaster Co-Housing and LESS has won up to £500,000 to deliver a series of low-carbon initiatives in the village. The funding will be used to:
Develop a community owned hydro scheme on the River Lune which has the potential to generate enough power for 300 homes and reduce carbon emissions by 500 tonnes of CO2 a year. All profits from the hydro scheme will be reinvested in Halton.
Create low-carbon offices and workshops through the eco-refurbishment of Luneside Engineering at Halton Mills.
Install over 100 solar photovoltaic panels on the Mill and local business Out of the Woods to generate renewable energy.
The profits generated from the Government's clean energy cashback scheme will be ploughed back into further carbon reduction projects such as the Halton Energy Network, which will help households reduce their domestic carbon emissions. LESS is leading on the Solar PV project and will be working with commmunity organisations in Halton to develop the energy network.
Representives from Halton Community Association, Lancaster Co-Housing, LESS and Transition City Lancaster will be attending the Low Carbon Communities Challenge Launch in London on Monday 07th February.
