Power Hamlets

People joining together for renewable energy in Tower Hamlets.
An affordable, impactful way to reduce our collective carbon footprint. A little bit Robin Hood.

[Power Hamlets @HamletsPower]

Imagine if our whole Borough switched to renewable energy this year, and that everybody can afford it because we help each other out, we do this together and support all of us to achieve it, for the good of all of our children, and our shared planet.
Let's do it! ♥♥♥♥♥

[SolarAid @SolarAid]

Can we do this in Tower Hamlets @TowerHamletsNow ?
And explore retrofitting of existing Council homes with insulation, solar and so on?
@CllrNathalieB @CllrSirajIslam would be wonderful to explore this. And it's an important question for the new London Chest development too.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

How are these council homes fighting the climate crisis?

I spoke to the Labour Council candidate for Mancroft Stuart McClaren about the award-winning Goldsmith Street, here in Norwich.

Friends, if you're interested in this, do get in touch as we may be able to help you get a generously discounted ticket. It will be a soulful event.

@XRLondon We have also been looking into community-shared ground-source heating...it's very challenging to make progress but we are learning as we go along even from the things that have not yet worked out. Please do share tips with us if this is your field or your journey too!
Solidarity.

[Power Hamlets @HamletsPower]

@XRLondon We have so far attempted researching and creating a Robin Hood renewable energy scheme with a big ethical company, which fell through when the energy and cost of living crisis hit. We have looked into local solar but not got far about solar on social housing...

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

This #EarthDay, I urge everyone to raise your voices & demand that leaders make peace with nature.

Let's all do our part to protect our common home for the sake of people & planet right now & for the generations to come.

[ScientistsForXR @scientistsx.bsky.social @ScientistsX]

"Ever since I was a little kid I’ve dreamed of this day – that the general public would be out defending nature, & not leaving it to conservationists & professionals.

This is happening now, & I’m excited to be part of it – I find it so uplifting & hopeful" Dr. @CharlieJGardner

Can we please install solar power on our housing estate blocks @THHomes @TowerHamletsNow @SolarTogetherUK ... anyone know any other community solar projects we could connect with to get this done?
Residents have been asking for over 10 years about this on @Parkview_ra estate.

[Donnachadh McCarthy @DonnachadhMc]

11 month solar battery update:
1889 kwh roof solar prod
1123 exported
201 imported
922 net exports
766 used from roof
967 total used
0 kwh gas
So exported over 5 times imports.
Roof produced twice total consumption.
Govt must install solar 4 all poorer homes

[Power Hamlets @HamletsPower]

This was a little bit akin to our original Power Hamlets idea... just before the cost of living and fuel bill crisis really kicked in, we were aiming to do a project to share cost of households opting for renewable energy... Can we re-explore? @GoodEnergy ?

[Power Hamlets @HamletsPower]

We could do this in Tower Hamlets... @CllrNathalieB @CllrSirajIslam @StMargaretsLDN what do you think? Little bit late to the party, but never too late... can we try it?

Hi @GlobeSchool Did you know about this?
https://t.co/FEx8AloNUf
Wonder if this might work on your roof. :-)
@MorpethSch installed solar panels as part of a £673,000 council grant-funding programme to make Tower Hamlets schools more energy efficient.
Maybe possible for you too?

Solidarity with the UK Nanas Against Fracking.
Support them with a donation if you can.
They are standing up for all of us and future generations against fracking.

[Nanas UK @UK_Nanas]

We so dislike asking and wouldn't if it didn't matter but the #fracking industry is breathing down our necks again and we need to be in a position to act and defend communities from being railroaded into this x https://t.co/I84GzDMJXT
