Low Carbon Neighbourhoods – Energy Plan

BHESCo worked with the Hove Station sustainability group to develop an Energy plan for the Neighbourhoods within the designated area.

Ollie Pendered, ex-Communications and Communities Director at BHESCo has previously developed an Energy Plan and programme of initiatives in Barcombe in East Sussex. He has worked with Brighton & Hove housing sustainability team to develop energy efficiency campaigns across the city. Earlier this year he managed a £250k fuel poverty project Called Your Warm Home on behalf of the City Council and Department of Energy and Climate Change. He is a member of the Consultation Institute where he is part of their Roundtable on Neighbourhood Planning and is an advocate of low carbon energy plans.
