Edinburgh Community Solar Co-operative - A Community Survey

Edinburgh Community Solar Co-operative (ECSC) is a co-operative with over 540 members which generates electricity from solar power at 24 host buildings across Edinburgh. Our aim is to grow the number of sites and the generation of green power across the city which will reduce climate change, alleviate fuel poverty, improve energy security and help foster sustainable development in and around Edinburgh. Income from the solar panels generate dividends to community shareholders and surplus for small grants programmes. We want to get more people involved, (across the city but in North Edinburgh and Craigmillar in particular) and are keen to hear your views. We have commissioned Community Enterprise to support this research and you can contact them on 01506 862227.

The survey will be live until the end of November and all information gathered will be kept confidential. Please feel free to send out the link to friends, family and neighbours.
