Energy project seeks support
SHEFFIELD Renewables is urging city residents to support its plans to install turbines on the River Don to generate electricity.
The social enterprise company is taking part in a national X Factor-style competition for funding and needs people to give their support.
If enough people sign up and vote for Sheffield Renewables, they will win £100,000 towards the scheme at Jordan Dam.
The scheme would generate enough to power 80 typical family homes.
Director Mark Wells said: “We would encourage everyone to vote for Sheffield by registering support and voting for us. It is a free and easy way for people to get involved, helping to develop local renewable energy schemes.
“The project is driven by the enthusiasm and time contributed by our volunteers.”
n Voting is open until December 3. Log on to www.energyshare.com/groups/followers/#listing to vote.
