A Leicestershire college is set to save £45,000 a year on its energy bills with a new wood chip boiler system, thanks to a community energy scheme. The landmark project, at Hinckley’s John Cleveland College, is the first of its kind in a school in the UK. It has been funded through a community share offer with half the investment sourced from within Leicestershire. The new boiler system will save almost a quarter of the college’s former £200,000 annual bill for its old oil-fired system.
