Oxford residents can learn more about heat pump technology at the Clean Heat Streets anniversary event taking place this weekend.
The free event, which is taking place at Rose Hill Community Centre on Saturday 15 June from 11:30am - 4pm, is part the Great Big Green Week.
The event celebrates the first year of the Clean Heat Streets project and how it has helped people living in Rose Hill and Iffley to move from gas to cleaner heat pumps. The project has so far seen 15 heat pumps installed at a low cost to the homeowners, and over 100 registrations of interest.
The event will include a series of talks about the project, including from residents who are taking part, as well as a question and answer session, and the opportunity to visit participating homes. The event will also feature stalls from local community groups and organisations that can offer energy advice and information.
The Clean Heat Streets project is a consortium consisting of Samsung, Oxford City Council, University of Oxford, Oxford Brookes University, Oxfordshire County Council, Rose Hill and Iffley Low Carbon, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), GenGame, Passiv UK, and Alto Energy.
