Impact
The benefits of OxFutures have been felt far and wide
The project delivered energy audits to 182 businesses, improving their competitiveness and reducing their energy bills and CO2 emissions, representing an average 31,000 kWh of potential energy savings per organisation. A further 38 organisations received 12 hours or more of professional support. Knowledge sharing in the sector has been strengthened with the establishment of a new network, Oxfordshire Greentech.
The full impact of the OxFutures programme has been reported in the OxFutures Social Impact Report which can be viewed here.
The collaborative work undertaken during the OxFutures programme has led to three major Low Carbon Hub programmes; Project LEO (Local Energy Oxfordshire), Cosy Homes, and Energy Solutions Oxfordshire (ESOx). The OxFutures project has been invaluable in the creation and development of these new initiatives.
