RESIDENTS in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire can find out more about renewable energy at an event next month.

Hambleton District Council and Yorkshire Energy Partnership are hosting an event to promote renewable technologies and the recently launched Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) – a government incentive to help people install renewable technologies such as ground and air source heat pumps.

Householders will be paid for every unit of heat energy generated for seven years after the installation. They will also benefit from reduced energy bills due to the cheaper running costs of renewable technologies, particularly in areas not served by mains gas.

The event is being held at the Galtres Centre, Easingwold on Friday, September 5 from 10am until 6pm. To reserve a place at the event call the Yorkshire Energy Partnership on 01904 545 020 or advice@energypartnership.org.uk.
