Solar Together 2 from North Herts Council
Would you like to invest in reducing your energy bills and cut your carbon emissions at the same time? Hertfordshire residents are being invited to come together to invest in renewables for a second time through a group-buying scheme for solar panels and battery storage.
Solar Together Hertfordshire offers solar panels with optional battery storage and EV charge points, as well as retrofit battery storage for residents who have already invested in solar panels. Last year, the scheme helped more than 400 households in North Herts get an average 22% discount on the typical market price of a 14-panel system (the average sized installation). It is free to register on the scheme and there is no obligation to go ahead with an installation if you don’t want to.
More information on-line – register interest by 27th October

New North Herts Council community investment fund
Are you a community group looking for funds to help build the capacity of your community organisation?
North Herts Council has made some money available to enable community groups and organisations expand a particular area or service – capacity building activities could include helping people access employment, education or training and supporting people’s mental or physical health.
The North Herts Community Investment Fund uses £100k from the council’s reserves to provide grants of between £5,000 and £20,000. The money could also fund services to help those suffering from the cost of living, or measures to address climate change and/or improve natural environments
