Renowned energy entrepreneur Howard Johns will be speaking at Frome Town Hall this month giving advice on building a more sustainable future for Frome.
The free talk will run on Tuesday 20th May, from 7pm to 9pm and is ideal for anyone interested in renewable energy and reducing energy bills.
Howard said, “Why are your energy bills so high and what can you do about it? The current energy system is outdated, expensive and harmful to our wallets, our health, the planet and even global stability.
“Every year, we pour thousands into companies that are fuelling the crisis. It’s time to flip the switch.
“Join us to kick-start an energy transformation in Frome: where our homes generate, store and share clean energy. Lower bills, less pollution, real local power.”
Howard will explore:
- Why the current energy system is inefficient and costly.
- What the future holds for energy – locally and globally.
- What is possible right now for homes in Frome: technology, costs and benefits.
- How community energy projects can deliver real local value.
- How you can get involved and be part of the change.
This event is part of Frome Town Council’s Solar & Beyond strategy, which aims to boost the use of renewable energy technologies such as solar panels, air source heat pumps and home retrofitting to reduce carbon emissions, cut household bills and increase local energy resilience.
