Wadebridge: Re-building its local economy through energy

Wadebridge, a small town in Cornwall, is going ‘back to the future’, localising its energy supply and, in doing so, re-building its local economy

Stand in Coronation Park, high above the north Cornish town of Wadebridge, and you can look down on the future of localised energy supply.

The town now gets 3% of its energy supply from renewables, and plans to have reached 100% by 2020.
