Work has commenced on a Department of Transport funded a residential EV infrastructure project in collaboration with Connected Kerb and supported by Energy Saving Trust to install 52 new EV charging points at car parks in Rossendale- Haslingden, Waterfoot, Rawtenstall and Bacup.
Local Energy Advice Demonstrator programme (LEAD)
We are supporting Rossendale Valley Energy on the LEAD project which provides the community access to free energy advice to residents in Rossendale. Information about this project can be found here: Rossendale Valley Energy (rvenergy.org.uk)
Net Zero Terraced Streets project
We are working with Rossendale Valley Energy to find solutions to decarbonise terraced buildings. The Net Zero Terraced Streets project aims to create a community support network to help communities in the Borough to move to net zero. If successful, the solution could be rolled out further across the Rossendale Valley. Information about this project can be found here: Terraced Streets - Rossendale Valley Energy (rvenergy.org.uk)
