Council welcomes Ofgem chairman to see community solar project tackling fuel poverty

Published: Tuesday, 5th March 2019
The Chairman of energy regulator Ofgem, Martin Cave, has been in Cannock to find out about an innovative community solar installation scheme that feeds surplus energy into the national grid, so reducing the bills of Council tenants who could otherwise be facing fuel poverty.
He was joined on his fact finding visit by Ofgem’s Executive Director for Consumers and Markets, Mary Stark.
The Solar PV installation is managed by Chase Community Solar, one of the largest community energy projects in the UK managed entirely by volunteers.
