Our Story

The SusMo Green Streets project aims to cover a church, school, mosque, allotment pavilion and 20 homes in a community of 20,000 people.

St. Mary’s Church is seeking planning permission for the installation of a roof mounted photovoltaic PV system (8000 kWh) to generate it’s electricity, most of which would be fed back into the grid, generating income via a Clean Energy Cashback tarif.

Moseley & District Churches Housing Association is a community-based provider of housing and care. They have put forward 10 homes that are in need of energy efficiency improvements. In addition, St Mary’s Church has nominated four, and Hamza Mosque has nominated five private sector households that would benefit from energy efficiency improvements.

Moseley Community Development Trust will act as lead partner for the project and will host a community energy company, which will reinvest a portion of the savings and income generated through the installations provided by the SusMo Green Streets project.

The project is supported by other local organisations and by the Birmingham Environmental Partnership. The hope is that the Green Streets project will be a solid starting point for the expansion of energy saving advice in the community, leading to energy efficient improvements in homes, businesses and community buildings and to changes in behaviour which will save money and help to save our planet
