ONE of the country’s leading green energy developers has celebrated its third anniversary.

Community Renewable Energy (CoRE), a social enterprise, helps communities set up renewable energy systems from wind turbines to solar panels.

In Teesdale it is working with the Teesdale Village Hall Consortium to reduce the energy consumption of its 33 member village halls and develop renewable energy systems to power communities in which they are based.

CoRE chairman Keith Richardson said: “We have achieved a great deal and are now involved in significant renewable energy developments that within a year should be generating enough electricity for nearly 3,000 households.”
