GRANT AID APPROVED TO SUSTAINABLE CLONAKILTY
Sustainable Clonakilty is delighted to announce that it has accepted the offer of a grant of up to €26,900.00 from the West Cork Development Partnership, through the Scheme for Grant Aid for Investments under the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013, for a feasibility study as part of its Clonergy 2020 project. The Clonergy 2020 project's mission is to enable the transition of Clonakilty and the surrounding areas to energy neutrality through renewable resources, in order to support a sustainable economy and quality of life for the community. Energy neutrality means that the amount of energy supplied from renewable resources in the area, is equivalent to, or greater than, the energy demand of the area. Sustainable Clonakilty's area of interest includes Rosscarbery, Rossmore, Ballinascarthy, Timoleague, Courtmacsherry, Butlerstown and their hinterlands out to the coast. The grant will be used to assist in employing specialist consultants to carry out an assessment of the most suitable renewable resources available in our area and how use of these can viably be developed to make the area energy neutral.
Anyone wishing to help the project by supplying brief data on their own household energy consumption (electricity, oil, coal, vehicle miles travelled etc.) can email: sustainableclon@gmail.com or phone Alison on 883 5241.
