Awel Aman Tawe is a community energy project which aims to:
- generate clean power from renewables
- reduce energy costs and create warmer homes
- develop local skills and create employment

The project undertakes work to enable local regeneration in an area hit by the decline in coal mining and farming. We are a local project which aims to have a global impact – directly in terms of reducing carbon emissions and sharing lessons learnt, but also in terms of making Local Agenda 21 principles real i.e. using local resources for local benefit.
