The Council has joined the Solar Together initiative, to offer cheaper items such as solar panels, battery storage and electric vehicle charging points helping people to save on their energy costs and cut carbon emissions.
In addition to buying solar panels with optional battery storage and EV charge points, residents who have already invested in solar panels can also retrofit battery storage, allowing them to get more from the renewable energy they generate and increase their independence from the National Grid.
Peter Strachan, Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment said:
“We are delighted that Bucks residents can now benefit from this national scheme that makes switching to renewable energy sources so much more affordable.
"We know that many people are keen to explore the option, but they can be put off by the initial costs of purchase and installation. The beauty of this scheme is that the more people who register an interest, the cheaper the costs, so we can help each other to reap the collective benefits. I would urge anyone who has considered the option previously to find out more and to register your interest today.”
The NHS in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West is supporting May Measurement Month to encourage adults across the area to check their blood pressure and take control of their heart health.
The owner of two Buckinghamshire-based events companies has been handed a suspended sentence after receiving £100,000 in Covid support funds when he was only entitled to half that figure.
