Wrexham Power

Wrexham County Borough Council wants to reduce its carbon emissions by 50% by 2016. It’s an ambitious target but one Creative Concern is more than happy to help them achieve.

The People Power campaign has been developed to get everyone in Wrexham to start thinking about reducing their own energy use. It’s about tackling climate change together and saving money at the same time. We developed a full campaign, including an online ‘pledge’ site to let people sign up to making energy saving changes and find out how to reduce their energy use.

A second phase of the campaign has seen the Council putting solar panels on 3000 homes. We developed the Solar Power campaign to let people know what was happening and why. We have worked on a whole suite of materials including posters, leaflets, a website, media relations and even a film to explain what is involved and how switching to solar power can reduce electricity bills.
