Sustainable Kirtlington

Sustainable Kirtlington formed in 2007. A small group that has made a big impact on the beautiful village of Kirtlington, they focus on energy saving and clean energy generation, sustainable transport and local food production.

One of their greatest achievements is the Kirtlington Village Hall Clean Energy project – installing 32 solar PV panels on the roof, a 10kWh three-phase battery to store the energy, and two EV charging points. They received grant funding from Low Carbon Hub for the feasibility study and battery purchase.

The group works closely with the Eco Council at Kirtlington School and has collaborated with Sustainable Woodstock and Low Carbon Oxford North to organise a group solar PV buying scheme for households across their communities.

Current projects include setting up a community orchard and a small community shop.
