Low Carbon Community
TEP has made great strides in the three years of its existence in providing advice and education to the local community, especially the children at the local primary school on reducing our carbon footprint and saving their parents money on their heating bills..
Community Solar Photo-voltaic Panels
TEP are looking for your support to win £75,000 in the EnergyShare competition to install PV panel installations the local school and community buildings to substantially reduce the running costs. This will help sustain these buildings by lowering their operating costs and even help them to stay open for the foreseeable future.
In this spirit, we are proud of what we have achieved so far and the heavyweight UK-wide support that we have gained. Therefore, we welcome queries and contacts with other groups who wish to know more, get involved with us, invest in our projects or would like us to mentor your own groups CONTACT US

Happy New Year to all our friends and supporters!
Having taken a well earned rest after the alarms and excusions of the EnergyShare voting (we came a creditable third in the medium sized project category), our New Year resolution is to make a big push to progress our mini-hydro project.
We also need to push on from the good work already started in 2011, to our Low Carbon Community work.
