GreenTEA (Transition Eynsham Area)

GreenTEA (Transition Eynsham Area) is a vibrant, dedicated group that has been finding local solutions to climate change for over twelve years. They are part of the Transition Network – a grassroots movement helping communities move away from fossil fuels towards sustainable living powered by clean, renewable energy and locally grown produce.

The group is made up of several action groups, including a thriving Energy Group working with Low Carbon Hub on the Eynsham Smart & Fair Futures project, and playing a key role in developing the Community Action Plan for Zero-Carbon Energy for the Eynsham Primary Substation Area.

GreenTEA has worked with Low Carbon Hub for over ten years, installing three community-owned solar PV projects in Eynsham – the largest at the Village Hall – with part of the income generated reinvested into other local energy projects.

The group is working to ensure all new buildings in Eynsham meet the highest environmental standards, piloting smarter use of the grid, championing self-build and community-led housing, and developing a route map to give the community a meaningful voice in the planning of large new developments.

They also run a popular annual festival – a celebration of everything the group does to transform Eynsham’s energy future.
