Todmorden’s unique industrial heritage of water powered mills, management of water resources and spirit of co-operative action by local people, provide inspiration and significant opportunities for 21st century energy projects.
We want to unlock the potential of Todmorden’s many natural resources (wind, water, sunshine, land and landscape) to generate low or zero carbon energy for the benefit of the environment and Todmorden people. We hope to develop renewable energy projects both in the town centre and in the wider rural area.
