Energy

March 2025

One very promising plan is to set up a Claygate Community Energy Scheme. There are dozens of such schemes elsewhere, but none in Surrey. It would have two goals: to help villagers in Claygate reduce their home energy use by offering, for example, advice on improving home insulation etc; and to create a system of solar panels on large public buildings in Claygate to create a mini electrical grid. Money made from selling this power could be used to support other environmental initiatives.
