My brother Charles Holford, who has died aged 72, was a pioneer of renewable energy in Wales.
From his base in Llangeitho, near Tregaron, Charles’s company, West Wales Renewable Energy, focused on installing solar panels and wind turbines for clients across mid and west Wales. To many, in isolated farms and other “off-grid” locations, he brought reliable electricity for the first time. He also identified and sourced the best materials, and the quality of his work has stood the test of time.
