OVESCO is developing a number of new projects. One is to help take the rural community of Barcombe of fossil fuel heating (Oil & LPG) and electrify local heating
At OVESCO (Ouse Valley Energy Services Co)
We develop community-owned renewable energy in the Ouse Valley & Lewes/Eastbourne region. We want to reduce our local carbon footprint and lower our dependence on imported energy in partnership with our local authority, stakeholders, schools, businesses and local people.
We are creating community owned renewable generation assets to make the town carbon neutral. So far in 2020 we have built over 5.25 MW towards our target of 26MW (equivalent to the 2018 domestic electricity supply of Lewes town)
Join us by investing in our projects, supporting new projects and sharing energy saving advice with friends and neighbours.
