CoRE on its way to biggest project yet…

CoRE (Community Renewable Energy),  the national pilot project based in Berwick-upon-Tweed,  has embarked on what will be its biggest project so far; aiming to generate a whopping £4m for the town of Berwick.  CoRE is funded and supported by the regional Regional Development Agency One North East and this latest venture involves Berwick Community Development Trust; Berwick CoRE has submitted a proposal to put a community owned turbine on a site just north of The Ramparts Business Park, Berwick.

This renewable energy development is a really great example of a what progress can be made by new organisation (CoRE is only a year old!), when the motivation, commitment and co-operation exists amongst key stakeholders.

Berwick CoRE will be holding public meetings to discuss the proposal. They are keen to hear from anyone about the idea, or from those interested in getting involved in this project, or who have ideas for other projects anywhere in the North East.
