According to BBC the small village of Sheriffhales, Shropshire, UK, with around 700 residents and no shop or pub, a solar farm has become the heart of a community energy scheme. Originally commissioned by a renewable energy company, the 3.2MW solar farm now generates renewable electricity equivalent to powering 825 homes each year. Sheriffhales Community Energy (SCE), a community benefit society, took ownership of the solar farm in 2023 with the help of a loan from Triodos Bank UK and funding from community bonds. Proceeds from the farm are invested in community projects, such as food parcels, a village hall extension, and support during the pandemic. SCE has already contributed over £150,000 to initiatives like improvements at Sheriffhales Primary School and repairs at St. Mary's Church. The solar farm's feed-in tariff system ensures a regular income by selling electricity to the national grid, with a projected surplus of about £1 million for community projects until 2040. The success of this community-driven renewable energy project is a testament to the positive impact of local initiatives, showcasing the power of community in action.

Sustainability Shines at The Open Championship! Smartly Energy's hometown of Troon proudly hosted The 152nd Open Championship, showcasing impressive sustainability initiatives. The event was powered entirely by renewable electricity from on-site solar panels and biofuel. Emissions were cut with electric vehicles and machinery, and fans were encouraged to use low-carbon transport options, including public transport and free bicycle parking. The Open Water Project provided free water refill stations for fans, players, volunteers and staff. Since being launched in 2019, almost half a million plastic water bottles have been avoided by using refill stations at The Open and AIG Women's Open. #Sustainability #TheOpenChampionship #RenewableEnergy #EcoFriendly #Troon #SmartlyEnergy
