2024 has been a busy year! With political changes in Scotland, Wales and Westminster, it’s been a year of meeting old and new faces in government, and taking the lead on industry initiatives to accelerate the UK’s efforts to meet climate targets. ➡️ We’ve been at industry conferences up and down the country, working with our colleagues and peers to drive forward the renewables agenda and tackle the barriers to progress. ➡️ We’ve worked closely with the communities surrounding our renewables sites too – to make sure they benefit from the transition to clean energy. Whether that’s through funding into local projects and initiatives, or by enabling local suppliers to become part of the renewables supply chain. ➡️ And then of course there’s our people, who make everything we do possible. We continue to recognise their brilliance, and recruit the brightest talent to join us in accelerating our journey to clean energy. Thanks to everyone who’s been on the journey with us in 2024 – here’s our #2024Wrapped ⬇️ #AcceleratingCleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #2024Retrospective #LookBack

Here's one of our Dorenell Wildlife Rangers, Rebecca Underdown, braving the local river to help the Cabrach Trust and Deveron, Bogie & Isla Charitible Trust with a riverbank restoration project. The team are slowly restoring the riverbanks on the River Deveron using the traditional technique of willow weaving. The work involves putting in posts along the bank, and weaving willow through the posts. This helps to prevent further erosion, strengthens the bank and creates riparian habitats for birds, fish and mammals as the willow embeds into the banks, . It's fairly painstaking work, given the time of year and high water at times, but thanks to the Dorenell Rangers and all the other volunteers, the work will protect the banks for many years to come. #Sustainability #Community #Biodiversity #Wildlife #RenewableEnergy

Today's the last day of term for most schools and colleges, so we wrap up our schools outreach work for the year.   We've attended careers fairs, presented in assemblies, run STEM activities and talked to hundreds of students up and down the country.   It's always good fun to get out and meet young people – and incredibly rewarding work too, if we manage to help even one young person take their first step towards a career in renewable energy.   Thanks to all the teachers, careers advisers, educators and careers fair organisers for inviting us along, and supporting young people in developing #greenskills for the future.   Here’s a snapshot of some of our activities by our Growth Network and Women’s Network in recent weeks at locations such as: Wapping High School in East London, Bishop Challoner Catholic School and, Castlebrae Community High School and Dalkeith High School in Edinburgh. Also pictured is Osian Roberts and Victoria Gee, who ran a workshop in November in Wales with Year 9s on how to site a wind farm.    ReachOut Developing the Young Workforce #AcceleratingCleanEnergy #GreenCareers #WorkingInRenewables

The Lewis Wind Power sponsorship fund has opened for applications from community groups in the Western Isles.

Exciting news in from our Ireland team... We've submitted the planning application for our Kellystown wind farm in Co. Louth.

Our Principal Business Development Manager Logan Black and Senior External Affairs Manager Ruth Shewan l Chart.PR MCIPR CIPR Accredited l MSc met with a variety of people on the island including Torcuil Crichton MP (pictured with Ruth and Logan), Alasdair Allan MSP and trustees from the Stornoway Trust. We also squeezed in a trip to Stornoway Primary School to speak to the children about the Stornoway wind farm and an explanation of how wind power works! Thanks to everyone who took the time to meet with us and discuss the latest updates on the Lewis Wind Power project. ESB #AcceleratingCleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Stornoway #OnshoreWind
