We have rolled out various initiatives to improve energy efficiency, and adopt renewable energy sources in our buildings and to support communities to do the same.
This page is designed to show you some examples of the energy efficiency work the Council is doing as part of Project Zero.
Solar Together Scheme
We’re supporting Solar Together, a group-buying scheme that helps residents invest in solar panels, battery storage, and EV charge points at a competitive price. By working with energy experts iChoosr, we’re making it easier and more affordable for homeowners to switch to renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions and lowering energy bills. The scheme works by bringing households together to run a reverse auction, where approved installers bid to offer the best value.
Llantwit Major Gym Upgrades
We’ve made a range of sustainability-focused upgrades at Llantwit Major Leisure Centre, including new water-saving showers, low-energy lighting, and an energy-efficient air handling unit to improve heating and ventilation. These improvements reduce energy and water use while creating a more comfortable environment for visitors. The project was part-funded by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund.
Alexandra Gardens Community Centre Energy Upgrades
Thanks to funding from the Strong Communities Grant Fund, and match funding from Section 106 developer contributions,the Alexandra Gardens Community Association was able to install additional solar panels and battery storage at its Community Centre to increase its renewable energy capacity.
Previously, the centre had a basic solar array and battery storage system that helped offset the electricity used to heat the main hall via air conditioning. However, the remainder of the building, including the entrance hall, kitchen, and toilet facilities, was still dependent on a traditional gas-fired boiler.
Alongside the new solar panels and battery storage, an electric air conditioning and heating system was fitted throughout the remaining rooms.
