Club site energy cost hike.

AS an Engineer, Can I suggest, Given the investments that the club make on the sites and the expected hike in fuel cost, it is obvious now that the club should look at renewable energy for the future, Solar as well as ground. Given the areas and more so if there is a running stream or river that is close by and getting hydro energy. The initial cost would be high, but the returns would be beneficial on the hot water used and on eco LED lighting. The investment would then be securing a stable operational cost and with the benefits of lowering  the carbon footprint. I believe there are many grants available for such businesses and I know the likes of Worcester Bosh or Vaillant or Vieessman  may be interested in sponsorship. Let alone the TV media benefits if we were to get on the likes of Country file.   I think this would be a perfect project and a good model to lead with. Making some calculations the returns could be within 5 years on an average if on oil or LPG if done with a upgrade of the toilet and shower block.
