Celebrating community energy award winners in Bath!

It was amazing to be able to celebrate the success of community energy at the Regen Awards in Bath on the 28th November.
​
The awards are open to people working in all sectors of sustainable energy and the shortlist included people from the public sector and big businesses, so to see community energy doing so well across the board was incredible.

Our favourite winner was Kate Royston at Tamar Energy Community who won Best Community Initiative. Kate works unbelievably hard, often on her own, and has successfully implemented several community owned solar PV schemes in Tavistock as well as reducing fuel poverty. ​

One of our directors, Katie, was shortlisted in the Sustainable Energy Champion Category for her amazing work on fuel poverty in the local area. The award was won by Alistair Macpherson, CEO of the incredible Plymouth Energy Community. PEC are our nearest community energy neighbours and are very generous with their support to us at SDCE,  we offer huge congratulations to Alistair!

Further details on the other award winners will be found on the Regen website. SDCE is a member of Regen, and has found the support they offer to community energy groups across the UK, encouraging us to upskill and join the table with the big players in the energy industry, is fantastic. So a big thanks to Regen!
