Renewable energy projects are making their mark in Devon.
The dozens of
schemes around the county are now being brought under a new umbrella
project to be officially launched today.
The Devon Association
for Renewable Energy, or Dare for short, has been formed by a consortium
of five communities where renewable energy is already popular.
Its work will
carry on from that of the Solar Devon and Salzburg Project led by
Devon County Council, which began two years ago to promote renewable
energy at a community level.
A delegation
from Salzburg will be at County Hall in Exeter today for the launch
of Dare.
Among the projects
they've seen on a three-day visit to the county are a farm in Axmouth,
fuelled by wood-heating, an award-winning recycling shop in Ottery
St Mary, and Ilfracombe's energy saving youth hostel.
