Notes on the second Somerset Energy Meeting…

The main aim of the group was to set up a forum where interested groups from around Somerset could pool their
experience and contacts. This would ensure that there would be no overlap of projects or clash of event dates. The
forum will be named Somerset Energy and Environmental Network.

Objectives
The group would look into three areas:
1 Energy efficiency
2 Fuel Poverty
3 Switch to renewable energy.

To achieve these aims essential information needs to be readily available along with education to ensure that
people are aware of the opportunities that are available to them.

Typical targets would be
1 Where to get help
2 What is available
3 What is being developed
Information Forum/ Network
Apart from the three core objectives the group would commit to lowering of carbon footprint and emissions. The need
for communicating with other groups involved in similar projects and define the geographical boundaries. This would
enable us to map requirements and needs within those areas.
First steps are to develop a what’s on guide with other local groups to ensure that there would be no overlap of
events and projects. This could be funded by crowd funding.

Look out for future events and hopefully a website very soon. If you can provide any expertise to put a website
together, provide information or you are running an event we would like to hear from you.
