Our Power
Norfolk Communities Act on Energy
New initiative Our Power partners with groups in Norwich and Norfolk and collaborates with trusted community members to empower people to reduce energy usage and decarbonise homes. This initiative aims to lower energy bills, provide greater control over energy consumption, and support our planet.
Homes in Norwich, much like elsewhere in the UK, often suffer from poor insulation and rely on gas boilers, which significantly contribute to Norwich’s carbon footprint. As a result, higher energy bills are impacting health, well-being, and personal finances.
Our Power aim is to enhance home energy efficiency in various local communities and empower them to manage their energy usage. While full home retrofitting remains unaffordable for most, communities have the potential to save money by acting collectively—through bulk buying or using community buildings to generate energy.
