Between 2019 and 2023 Osney Island took part in a project to help planners build the energy systems of tomorrow.
The community supported efforts to:
- reduce demand on the grid by generating renewable energy locally (hydro and solar)
- experiment with battery storage of electricity from these renewable sources so that power can be used when needed
- facilitate the adoption of more electric vehicles locally
The Osney scheme was part of the Local Energy Oxford (LEO) project, led by Scottish & Southern Energy.
