Sheffield Renewables

Sheffield Renewables was formed by a group of volunteers in late 2007. According to their press release: "We are
committed to improving Sheffield’s environmental sustainability. We aim to harness
local enthusiasm, knowledge and skills, in creating an energetic and committed social
enterprise, which develops, owns and operates renewable energy schemes.
Our schemes will contribute to city wide efforts to meet targets for reducing greenhouse
gas emissions and for increasing local renewable energy provision. We will reinforce
these direct carbon savings through local outreach, communications and education. Our
work also helps to strengthen social cohesion and community resilience by encouraging
people to work together and to share a common purpose, and also by developing
community owned assets.
In pursuing our aims we work across the city for the benefit of everyone, while giving an
additional focus to those areas close to our project sites." sheffieldrenewables.org.uk, 6th April 2010
