About Bonsall Energy Group
Who are we?
The Bonsall Energy Group is a group of people from Bonsall, Derbyshire dedicated to exploring how we (people in the village) might benefit from community-driven, alternative local energy sources.
What do we want?
Our goal is to find a feasible, local means to generate energy that will help people in Bonsall save money, be more self-sufficient and reduce the village’s carbon footprint.
“The reality is that every little action not only helps, but is absolutely critical. So, all power to the Bonsall Energy Group’s elbow and the very best of luck with your efforts to create a greener and more sustainable community.”
Bill McGuire, Climate Scientist, University College London & the International Panel on Climate Change
