This page is a placeholder for information about renewable energy projects in and around Swindon.

  I'm one of those who believes that renewable energy will play a big part in saving this fragile earth of ours in the future. With your help I would like to make a list of renewable projects in and around Swindon. Can we make it a 7mile radius from the centre of Swindon. That would include Highworth,Wroughton,and Blunsdon.
  Although I think the private projects on domestic houses like solar panels and small wind turbines will make a big contribution in the future, I don't think it would be possible to include them on the list.
  This is a few of the commercial renewable projects I got from the Advertiser over the last year.

  PS.
  This is a start but if you know of any commercial renewable energy projects please let me have them. We can not only see if Swindon is becoming a big Eco-Beacon in the UK but we can also pass the information on to the Wiltshire Green Map.
  Many Thanks Ken.
