SAVING ENERGY 

One of our aims is to help the community to save energy.

So why save energy?
  • We can all save ourselves money!
  • We can also reduce our impact on the environment
  

GENERATING ENERGY 

Another of our aims is to
generate local energy.

Why generate local energy?
  • We can save money and keep more money within our community instead of buying all our power from multi-national companies?
  • We can be less dependent on outside sources over which we have no control
HOME ENERGY SURVEYS
The results of the Gordano Home Energy Survey will help us to plan energy saving initiatives which meet local needs.

The survey only takes 5 minutes to complete and you can do it on-line at
