Case Description: Woking Borough Council Energy Services Company
Authored by regensw - South West Renewable Energy Agency in 2007
Summary: This case study sets out how a relatively small Borough Council in the home counties has established a wide array of renewable energy projects by setting-up an Energy and Environmental Services Company (EESCO). This approach has brought about financial savings for the council, residents and businesses alike and has led to considerable reductions in energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

Paper: Woking: Local Sustainable Energy Communities
Author: Jones, A. Energy Services Manager
Summary: This paper summarises a practical strategy for a sustainable energy society deriving its initial energy needs from energy efficient low carbon energy resources whilst at the same time establishing a sustainable community energy infrastructure to enable future energy needs to be derived from wholly renewable energy resources via a hydrogen economy within the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution timescales to reduce CO2 emissions by 60% by 2050 and 80% by 2100. These concepts can be applied to any community in the UK or indeed the world.
