When it comes to tackling the climate crisis, the Welsh Government has got the wind in its sails. But expanding renewable energy in Wales won’t happen without a focused effort to remove barriers and promote genuine partnerships with Welsh firms.
Over the last three decades, I’ve worked closely with governments across the UK. I’ve run three renewable development companies, and I’ve had the privilege of working with some brilliant and talented people. As a champion of community interests and voluntary causes, I am also a trustee of the Community Foundation; which manages a fund for my wife and me which aims to financially support individuals and groups making an extraordinary difference.
I’ve always been passionate about the environment, whether that’s helping people live greener lives by building eco-friendly homes or helping to decarbonise our electricity supply through on-shore wind and solar. As a Welshman, running a successful Wales-based company, it fills me with pride to see our collective efforts tackling the climate emergency recognised internationally.
