Huge congratulations to our very own Chair and founder director Pete Capener on getting recognised for 30 plus years of work in the clean energy sector. He received his award of the Member of the British Empire, or MBE, in the 2015 New Year Honours list for ‘services to sustainable energy. Presumably they will be casting a special medal for him, and fellow sustainable energy champion Barbara Hammond, in recycled metal with a reused cloth bit that it hangs on.

The Bath Chronicle reported the story thus with Pete quote as saying “I’m very pleased to have the work that we’ve been doing on community energy acknowledged, recognised and valued. It’s good to see that this is an area of activity that is regarded as important.” He went on to say it would be increasingly important for communities to take control of their energy destiny by finding sustainable ways of generating their own power.
And so say all of us – very well done Pete
