Summary
Woking Borough Council is at the forefront of the decentralised energy revolution in the UK. By decentralising its energy, Woking Council has slashed its energy use by nearly half, and its CO2 emissions by a massive 77 per cent since 1990.
It has pioneered the development of a network of over 60 local generators, including cogeneration and tri-generation plant, photovoltaic arrays and a hydrogen fuel cell station, to power, heat and cool municipal buildings and social housing. Many town centre businesses are also connected to this local energy supply.
