You will see the technologies in action and learn what works and what does not. You will also hear about the practicalities of setting up a community renewables scheme. These courses are normally £35 per person but thanks to a subsidy from the Live & Work Rural Programme we are offering them to community groups in the Peak District and East Peak areas for £10 per person.
