00:40:21 Mary Moore Uplowman, Devon: Thank you very much Dan. Sorry I have to leave but will use your website to develop a community workshop .
00:45:34 tim yair - Herefordshire: £40k for phase 1 feasibility studies through Community Energy Fund. https://communityenergyengland.org/pages/community-energy-fund/*
00:46:48 john fagan: Same here, gotta duck, but great talk Dan, very inspiring!
00:50:49 Jacky Lawrence, Napton Environmental Action Team, Warwickshire: I've recently heard of REACH which is an opportunity for rural communities in the South West, South Wales and the Midlands.
Regen is working with National Grid Electricity Distribution on an innovation project focused on the decarbonisation of rural areas. REACH: Rural Energy and Community Heat. The project has been funded by network users and consumers under the Strategic Innovation Fund, an Ofgem programme managed in partnership with UKRI.
00:52:08 Jennifer Lanham - Cotswolds National Landscape: I've got to dash. Thanks for the great presentation!
01:00:54 Dan Stone - Centre for Sustainable Energy: My recent blog about grid reinforcement and the gov plans: https://www.cse.org.uk/news/reducing-the-need-for-grid-reinforcement/ and my email address: dan.stone@cse.org.uk
01:04:00 Garry Ford - Corsham Town Council: Our local MP not in favour of big projects...And now we have an absolutely outrageous application for vast new solar parks under the misleadingly rustic title ’Lime Down Solar Park’. It will be 2000 acres of vanity mirrors stretching from Luckington to Malmesbury, from Sherston to Hullavington, from the M4 to Corston. It will require dozens of hideous battery storage units, and miles and miles of road disruption to get the electricity to Melksham and thence into the Grid (which may or may not have the capacity to receive it!)
01:06:28 Mike E - Hay Community Resilience Initiative: Thanks Alll
