Tackling the climate emergency together

Eliminating fossil fuel dependence in the way we generate our electricity is crucial to achieve carbon neutrality. Using local renewable power sources like hydro, solar and wind are a greener viable alternative.

For the benefit
of the local community

Waterside Green Energy is a Charitable Community Benefit Society set up by a group of local volunteers in response to the climate emergency declaration.

Renewable
energy with the community in mind

We need to think about what each one of us can do to combat climate change. Start small, in your local community and become a part of the climate solution.
