Continuing our very popular evening talks we welcome Cyd Ynni.
Cyd Ynni : Ynni Lleol is a community project linking up households with local community hydro power projects. Working together, we can help you benefit from cheaper electricity (a potential saving of 10-30%) and support your local renewable energy generators.
Cyd Ynni will talk about their community share offer, Ynni Lleol pilot energy tarrif and we will also discuss ideas for potential renewables in the future of the Ffarm.
Talk is in the Barn at 7:30pm on 26th April. Free entry however donations are welcome. Refreshments are provided.
At the moment there are wonderful hydro projects in the Ogwen valley but they are selling all the power at less than 5p/kWh and residents are buying it back at twice the price. Ogwen is not getting the true benefit of the local generation. With Energy Local, we want to try a new system. Participants will form a Energy Club, Cyd Ynni – Ynni Lleol. Working with Cooperative Energy, each participant will get a free smart meter to show when they are using power as well as how much. This means they can show that they were using power when the hydro was operating; Cyd Ynni – Ynni Lleol will agree how much residents will pay for this power – around 7p/kWh – so the hydro gets more income and participants get lower bills. Cooperative Energy just sells participants the power not generated locally. They will charge different prices at different times of day – more expensive at tea time but cheaper at lunch time and during the night.
