Guidance
The Energy Saving Trust provides valuable guidance on choosing the right type of renewable energy system for your needs and circumstances. Advice leaflets are also available from the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
If you use a wood-burning stove or open fire you can minimise the amount of fuel burned and smoke created by following the advice and videos from the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps about fuel selection, lighting and managing the fire.
Community energy
Devon County Council is supporting community energy groups by providing online tools, such as the Community Energy Legal Toolkit , and support programmes. Further information on the community energy page.
