we understand it’ John Constable 1836
“It’s endlessly fascinating. From up here one can see the strained worried faces of mere mortals as they struggle to pay their gas bills.”
Good afternoon!
AGENDA1. Marches Energy Agency?2. ‘We need to talk about energy’?3. The Energy ‘Trilemma’4. What support is out there, and how
can we access it?5. What do we do on Thursday?6. Some inspiration…….?
What have
future generations ever done for us?
Local sustainable energy ‘Do Tank’.Honest broker.Not for profit.
Our mission is to fix unsustainable energy: 1. fuel poverty 2. energy security 3. climate change.
We try to do this in ways that improve places economically, socially and environmentally.
Mission…
We need to talk aboutENERGY….

85% of existing houses will be standing in 2050
Government commitment to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050 (25% of emissions currently from housing).
196,282 homes across Telford & Wrekin and Shropshire – most do not meet thermal targets. We need to be retrofitting 5,452 homes a year or 105 per week across T&W and Shropshire.For Telford & Wrekin and Shropshire this is a £83 – 113 million per annum market.Between 2,720 & 3,670 jobs would be created or supported by this level of investment.

Fuel poverty causes
o Low incomeo Expensive energy costso Energy inefficient homesoUnder occupancy
Triggers: What you may SEE?Outdoors:o Severe condensation on windowso Curtains kept closed to retain heat
Indoors:o Mould stains on walls or curtains o Portable bottled gas or electric heaterso Heating controls absent / not working / switched offo Visual evidence that heating appliances are not being used. e.g.
dust on heating elementso Blocked vents
o Coldo Large differences in
temperatures between roomso Draughtso The smell of damp
Triggers: What you may SENSE?
Triggers – What you may HEAR?o ‘Sorry about the cold.’o ‘That draught gives me an achy neck.’o ‘I don’t know how I’m going to pay that
next bill.’o ‘I just use this room really – that’s all I really need’o ‘I can’t get rid of this cough.’ o ‘They talk about direct debits but I like this key
meter.’ o ‘I don’t need the heating yet – I’ve got jumpers and
my little heater.’
Fuel poverty solutionso Maximising income - benefit entitlement
checkso Minimising outgoings - household budgetingo Draught proofingo Insulating the homeo Heating controlso Changing behaviour o Getting cheaper energy: switching, bulk buying o Accessing help e.g. fuel debt……
What dowe do onTHURSDAY?
“Stretton Climate Care is delighted to join the eco@MEA scheme and are looking forward to working with them to take advantage of ECO and Affordable Warmth Funding for people in our community. Being local, keeping things simple and knowing the people we shall work with, rather than using some national provider with a distant call centre, will have many advantages”

Inspiration?
“The crisis is in implementation.”
Kofi Annan, 2002
“What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.” John Ruskin
‘If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.’
Don’t just stand there, do something!
