Dorset Community Energy hope to build a small ground-mounted solar array by the reservoir at Dottery (on land West Of Atrim Road, Dottery, Dorset DT6 5HS). They plan to make the electricity generated from the proposed array available to local residents via an Energy Local Club.

Planet Wimborne aims to bring the community in Wimborne and surrounding areas together in response to the climate and ecological emergency.
