RURAL COMMUNITY ENERGY - FEASIBILITY STUDY -
RYEDALE -PHASE 1
Introduction
Background
The Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) is a £10 million programme which supports rural communities in England to develop renewable energy projects, which provide economic and social benefits to the community. RCEF provides support to rural communities in two stages, for which this report falls within the first stage, which provides grants up to £40,000 to complete a feasibility study for a renewable energy project, or projects.
The Ryedale Village Hall Consortium, led by the Kirby Misperton Village Hall and supported by York & North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), were successful in their bid to the first stage of the RCEF grant administered by the North East Yorkshire and Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
The Ryedale Village Hall Project was created with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint of village halls across the rural Ryedale area of North Yorkshire, primarily through solar PV and battery storage installations, with the idea to procure renewable energy installations on a group basis to achieve best value for money. Initially, interest from 29 village halls was received; however, throughout this Phase 1 project, a number of village halls chose to drop out of the study and six additional halls were invited to join the study.
Middleton and Aislaby Village Hall was one of the participating village halls. The report is attached and available to download.
