FREE: Future of Rural Energy in Europe Initiative

CAH is the lead organisation in the south east for this three year national energy advice programme supported by Calor Gas Limited. The  programme, primarily for rural communities that do not have mains gas, will provide independent information and advice about fuel choices, energy efficient technologies and carbon reduction measures, helping to reduce energy consumption and fuel costs. Increasing fuel costs and limited fuel supply options available in off mains gas areas can lead to some households experiencing difficulties paying to keep warm.

In year one, we are concentrating on three areas – off-grid villages in Test Valley, Basingstoke and Hart districts. Working with organisations, community groups and other bodies we plan to attend events and arrange activities in the villages in order to give out information, provide advice and signpost on to more specialist advisers if necessary.

We would be interested in hearing from anyone in one of the above areas who would be interested in us coming to talk to a group about the project or would like us to have a stand  – for example, at an event in the village hall or at a luncheon club.

CAH is supported in this initiative by the sponsor, Calor Gas Ltd, and by National Energy Action.

If you would like more information about this project or would like to discuss us having a presence at your village event or group please email or phone:
