Rother is fortunate in having opportunities for wood, solar, smallscale hydropower (within existing hammer pond features). Woodfuel could play a important role in this well wooded district. Woodfuel is best used for heating. A large proportion of electricity generation is used for space heating, so this would reduce demand for electricity. Woodfuel works best at a local scale â€" supplying boilers for district heating systems or larger rural dwellings within a 10-20mile radius.
