We are in the process of transferring projects and information over from Marlow Energy Group.

Marlow Energy aims to address the Climate Emergency by assisting Marlow to become a net-zero town. We will enable the local community to confidently invest their effort and money to reduce energy consumption and use low carbon technologies.

We are a charity with a mission to encourage our lovely town to become a carbon-neutral community. We do not sell low-carbon technologies or profit from them. But we seek to understand them, in some cases use them ourselves and can help our neighbours understand which may be helpful to them.

What Marlow Energy does

  • Bring like-minded people in our community together, to the benefit of the whole community.
  • Aims to reduce our community climate change impact by education, and promotion of energy saving technologies, low carbon technologies and community energy.
  • With our thermal imaging camera, we can survey your house so you can see where you might want more insulation to keep you warm, reduce your bills and your carbon footprint.
  • Educate ourselves and the community on smart heating controls, insulation, draft exclusion, solar energy systems, energy storage, heat pumps, electric transport and low energy heating and lighting.
  • Organise “Ask the Expert Talks” and video presentations to improve understanding and benefits of low carbon technologies
  • Organise the Smart Energy Show where you can learn more about solar heating, heat pumps, insulation, electric cars and bikes
  • Work with schools to help the next generation to understand these technologies and the opportunities they provide.
  • Identify and signpost useful sources of energy help and advice.

Volunteer with Marlow Energy!

Projects coming up include a second screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing (November 2026); Thermal Imaging Surveys of local houses and community buildings (Winter 2026/27) and the next Smart Energy Show (Spring 2027).

There’s a team of experienced volunteers, ready to welcome and show enthusiastic volunteers the ropes. Most activities can be timetabled to suite individual diaries and are undertaken by small groups.

Approximate time involvement:

  • for thermal surveys it’s two to three early evening sessions on weekdays in January / February to suite your diary, and up to 6 hours of report preparation using existing templates;
  • for the People’s Emergency Briefing screening, a team of three will require around 4 hours per week through October and early November to organise the venue, publicity and additional volunteers for the night of the events
  • the Smart Energy Show organisation (final date to be confirmed) will require approximately 4 hours per week, flexible timing, during the first quarter of 2027, a team of four will help organise the venue, stall holders, volunteers and event publicity. A larger team will be recruited to help run the event safely on the day of the event.

We would also like to restart projects such as engagement with Marlow Schools to promote climate change awareness and a larger scale Community Energy initiative to attract government funding for Marlow, if we can find the team to make them happen. New ideas are also welcome.

Please send your details to energy@transitionmarlow.org, without any obligation, indicating which activities or events you might be interested in, and we will provide more information so that you can decide if it is for you or not.
