Seasons Greetings from everyone at PowerGreen!

The Christmas Celebrations have started at PowerGreen!

Renewable Connections and Armstrong joined together on the 12th December at the prestigious Pewterers Hall in Central London, located right round the corner from our London office, to celebrate a successful year and get into the festive spirit!

After a year of working incredibly hard on current and future projects, it was fantastic to honour the successes of 2024.

We wish everybody a Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year!

Renewable Connections Declare

Renewable Connections have underlined their commitment to a sustainable future by joining Business Declares. By aligning with the Business Declares initiative, the company are acknowledging the existing climate, ecological and social emergency.  In response Renewable Connections are taking concrete steps, including setting a net zero target of 2030, and creating, publishing, and implementing a Climate Action Plan. 
Many of the local councils and counties that Renewable Connections operate in, have publicly declared a climate emergency.
 
Alex Bruce, ESG and Sustainability lead at Renewable Connections said “We are delighted to join Business Declares and reinforce our commitment to sustainability. Whilst day to day our team unlocks hundreds of megawatts of solar and storage across the UK this initiative underlines our corporate approach to tackling climate change.  We have taken a number of steps and made six formal statements underlining the action we will take going forward as part of this important activity.”
