Community Energy Forum in Winsley, Holt, Bradford-on-Avon & S. Wraxall

About this meeting

As part of the 'Future Energy Landscapes' project in Wiltshire, we invite you to explore how community-owned renewable energy could benefit your area. These are clean energy projects that are designed, owned, and led by local people, with the benefits staying in the community, depending on what’s suitable for your area. This is your chance to help shape energy projects that are designed and directed by local people.

This meeting is part of a series of conversations that have been ongoing in the area since November 2025, including a workshop on renewable energy, an online survey, pop-up events, and a drop-in information session at Hartley Farm. This meeting is the next step in the discussion to understand if there is appetite in Winsley, Holt, Bradford-on-Avon and South Wraxall to pursue a community-owned renewable energy project, and if so, what might this look like.

This meeting will cover the following topics:

• Community energy and how it works in practice
• The benefits for the local community
• Discussion of your views on community energy
• A discussion on which locations you would consider suitable for a renewable energy project that is community-owned
• Summary of next steps and opportunities for the area

If you have any questions please contact [email protected].

Key details:

• Light refreshments will be provided (tea, coffee, biscuits).
• Please sign up to help us understand how many people are attending.

About Future Energy Landscapes

Future Energy Landscapes is a project led by the Centre for Sustainable Energy, in partnership with Bath and West Community Energy and Wiltshire Council. The project is funded by the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme and is running in six communities in Wiltshire. In this area, the project is working alongside Climate Friendly Bradford-on-Avon to start conversations about energy use and renewable energy generation.

Community-led energy projects keep benefits local, including investment in local facilities and activities. When communities lead energy projects, they create solutions that work for everyone – tackling both climate change and rising energy costs. This project aims to explore the options for community energy projects in Wiltshire and give local people a voice.
