Drumduff, built by Green Breeze Energy our joint venture with Greenpower, is a powerful symbol of the country’s transition from polluting fossil fuels to cleaner, greener renewable energy. This film captures the completion and transition from coal mine to wind power, featuring drone footage.

We’ve also been recognised for our new Community Energy Funding Bridge by Community Energy England. The innovative financing solution has been shortlisted in the Community Energy Finance Award category. The Community Energy Funding Bridge provides temporary finance for communities wishing to purchase or build their own renewable energy projects. Our financial support gives community groups the extra time they need to fundraise themselves. So local people can take ownership of renewable energy projects near them and reap the financial, social and environmental rewards.
