Deadline: 20/12/2023 Interviews: 15/1/2024 About Awel Aman Tawe: Awel Aman Tawe (AAT) is a community energy charity and social enterprise which was set up in 1998. It was created by local people in the Upper Amman and Swansea Valleys, a former coal mining area 20 miles north of Swansea. Our prime drivers are tackling climate change, community resilience, finding creative solutions, retaining wealth and jobs in the Welsh economy and engaging people in the transition to net zero. We have a strong reputation for delivery of education, arts and engagement. We have set up two renewable energy co-ops and are involved in a number of other projects. Surplus from the co-ops' wind and other income has enabled the charity to create 12 FTE jobs (website recently redeveloped) • Awel Co-op, is a 4.7MW community wind farm which was commissioned in Jan 2017. It was funded by a £5.25m loan from Triodos Bank and a £3m community share offer. The annual turnover has been £1.1m and will be rising to £1.8m in 2024. • Egni Co-op develops rooftop solar on schools, businesses and community buildings. It has installed 5 MWp on nearly 100 sites in Wales. Egni has raised £5m from a community share offer and £2.12m from the Development Bank of Wales to fund the installs which are ongoing. The turnover in 2023 is expected to be £1.09m. We saved our sites more than £311k in electricity costs in 2023 and nearly 1,000 tonnes in carbon emissions. We recently won a tender with Pembrokeshire County Council to install solar on 20 schools and 4 leisure centres. • 'Y Bryn' Shared Ownership : we have a 20% stake (£30m) in a 100 MW wind farm near Port Talbot. We are working in partnership with Neath Port Talbot Council for Voluntary Service (NPTCVS) and Bridgend Association of Voluntary Organisations (BAVO). We have a co-op model to deliver both community benefit funds and shared ownership. Y Bryn is being developed by Coriolis/ESB. We signed MOUs in June 2022 and expect the project to go for planning in 2024. • Mynydd Fforch Dwm Shared Ownership : we have a 17% stake in a 20MW wind farm and 6MW of solar near the village of Tonmawr, Neath Port Talbot. We are working in partnership with NPTCVS. We signed MOUs in July 2023 and the project was submitted for planning in Q3 2023. • Hwb y Gors: we are also developing Hwb y Gors, the former village primary school, into a low carbon social enterprise, arts and education venue in the Cwmgors, north of Swansea. It includes a café, arts and education facilities, office accommodation, community gardens, community transport and car club.

A film of the refurbishment can be seen here . The building is due to open to the public in Spring 2024. • Climate Change Education: we employ an Education Officer who works with over 40 schools across South and West Wales to further reduce carbon emissions through arts, music and energy campaign activities.
