“This project is the perfect example of how innovative communities are taking back control of their energy and we would like to congratulate the Ambition Community Energy team for the passion and determination they have shown in getting this project built. We’re extremely proud to be part of the project, with our unique and collaborative funding model helping to get the turbine into construction after years of planning work. We’re hoping that other community energy groups will see this project as an example of what can be achieved when we work together and would like to say thank you to Community Energy England for a fantastic, inspirational evening.”

“We are ecstatic to have received the Finance & Innovation Award at the Community Energy England Awards. This recognition is a testament to the relentless dedication of our volunteers and the project development team at Ambition Community Energy CIC. We are deeply grateful for the support of all our funders and take great pride in this achievement, which was made possible through the collective efforts of our team, volunteers, investors, and grant funders. Without their financial support and backing, our community-owned wind turbine project – set to be the largest onshore turbine in England – would not have been a reality.”
