Community Energy Open Evening in Corsham

About this event

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 part of a series conversations that have been ongoing in Corsham since July 2025, including a workshop on renewable energy at the Town Hall, a stall at Corsham Library, and a session at Corsham Youth Zone discussing the options with young people.

No prior knowledge needed - just curiosity and a willingness to get involved.

• Visit stalls, listen to presentations, and share your thoughts
• Opening talks at 16:00 and 17:00
• Hot drinks and sweet treats provided
• Children’s games and activities available until 17:30

Stalls include:

• What’s realistic for wind and solar power locally? - Centre for Sustainable Energy
• What is “community-owned” energy and how can residents benefit? - Bath & West Community Energy
• Save money on energy bills this winter - Home Energy Team
• How to get involved locally - Corsham Climate Action
• Wiltshire Council Climate Action team - Wiltshire Council

This is your chance to help shape energy projects that are designed and directed by local people.

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 Corsham, the project is working alongside Corsham Climate Action to start conversations about energy use and renewable energy generation. Community-led energy projects keep benefits local – from cheaper energy bills to investment in local facilities. 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.
