Manchester's Carbon Co-op is very excited to announce its submission to the innovative Energyshare programme for moral & financial support to begin putting solar panels on our City's roofs.
Energyshare is a fledgling online community of renewable energy & energy efficiency organisations and innitiatives, offering advice and information, an opportunity to contact and network with simialr projects and secure financial support.
The Carbon Co-op is hoping to secure support and funding (up to £100,000) through the programme which is supported by the likes of Friends of The Earth, British Gas and River Cottage.
The selection process involves people registering their support for their favourite projects and we are urging everyone we know to support this application. It takes just a few minutes and you will be enabling one of Manchester's most exciting energy initiatives to get started.
Supporting our application involves a few simple steps:
