ABOUT US
Heat Clanfield is a local community project organised by a group of volunteers, all long standing Clanfield residents, aiming to give families and businesses the opportunity to choose affordable low carbon options for heating and hot water.
THIS MATTERS BECAUSE
01
Burning fossil fuels generates CO2 which is causing climate change.
02
Most of us in Clanfield heat our homes and showers with oil-fired boilers. From 2035 we won’t be allowed to install new oil boilers or replace existing ones, so now is the time to make alternative plans.
03
Energy prices are unpredictable, and supplies are vulnerable to world events putting us all at risk, especially people on low incomes.
04
Increased electricity demand and under-investment in the National Grid may mean electricity prices rise and even limit availability for villages like ours.
Heating oil prices over the last 5 years have ranged from a low of under 30p per 100 litres to a high of 110.9p

We believe sitting back and doing nothing is not an option.
With the help of a central government grant Heat Clanfield has commissioned low carbon energy consultants Scene Connect to carry out a feasibility study into what technologies could work for us, be economically viable, and environmentally friendly.
