We were delighted to hear that Egni Co-op received the Highly Commended Award for Community Energy Organisation of the Year 2023 by Community Energy England. Having recently won the tender to install solar panels on approximately 20 schools & leisure centres in Pembrokeshire County Council, we are excited at how seriously community energy is being taken by many councils in south Wales. Mike, Rosie and Ellie – our Egni team – continue to work hard across Wales, currently assessing sites with an additional 1MW capacity for rooftop solar. Sites, like the Gwent Crematorium, Fishguard Leisure Centre, St. Joseph’s School, Wastesavers among others are all at various stages of design and installation.
Mike, pictured below receiving the award, is also carrying out Energy Surveys and acting as a mentor through the EGIN programme for a number of community energy projects as we seek to support others in the drive to tackle the climate crisis.  A recent energy survey of Bloomfield Community Centre in Pembrokeshire has resulted in a £20k grant towards LED lighting upgrades, a more energy efficient heating system and a solar PV array to help them with rising energy costs and lowering their carbon footprint.
