We are delighted to announce that Greg Skinner has joined Ethical Power Group as a new investor after acquiring 50% of its shares from Hive Energy. Founder and CEO Thomas Kneen will retain a 50% share of the business. In addition to his investment, Greg will provide a £15m working capital loan to assist with the ongoing expansion of the Group’s operations. Commenting on his investment in Ethical Power Group, Greg says: “I am excited about Ethical Power’s mission and the work that they are doing to decarbonise the grid. Our values and ambitions are closely aligned – I deeply care about mitigating the impact of the climate emergency and supporting sustainable growth. Given their strong leadership and impressive pace of expansion in recent years they are well set up for further growth, and I am excited to be a part of the journey with Tom and the team.” This investment marks a new chapter in Ethical Power's growth and success, and we believe Greg will be invaluable in helping us reach our full potential. We are deeply grateful to Hive Energy for their partnership and support in helping us grow to where we are today.

What a year 2024 has been for Ethical Power! We saw a huge amount of growth and positive change. A huge thanks to our team, our partners, and suppliers for helping us to deliver high-quality renewable energy in the UK, Spain, and New Zealand. There isn’t enough time or space to tell you about all the amazing achievements, but here are a few we are most proud of:

2024 has been a transformative year for renewable energy, in the UK and across the world. For the first time, renewables overtook fossil fuels in the UK's electricity mix, marking a historic shift towards a more sustainable future. The government's launch of Great British Energy and the major investment by the National Grid also promise to pave the way for even greater growth in the sector. Globally, solar installations have reached record highs, with over 2 terawatts of solar panels installed in two years. For context, this is more new solar energy in two years than in the preceding half a century. ☀️ We are very proud of our contribution to this amazing year, having installed well over half a million #solar modules in 2024 across all our international #PV projects. Battery storage capacity has also improved greatly, further increasing the reliability of renewable energy assets and we are installing hundreds of megawatts of #BESS capacity in the UK and New Zealand, with plenty more to come. 🔋 Challenges remain, but significant improvements have already been made across the industry to improve the speed and efficiency of renewable projects and, together with our Group company GTDS, we are helping to build a more modern, secure grid infrastructure. It's clear that 2024 was a year of remarkable progress, but what excites us most is that 2025 is already shaping up to be an even bigger, better year for us and #RenewableEnergy!

As the temperature drops, our Operations and Maintenance team works to ensure your asset’s performance doesn’t. While many of us are beginning to wind down for the holidays, #GreenEnergy assets must maintain peak performance to help keep the lights on. We would like to give a special thanks to everyone in our O&M and Performance and CCTV Monitoring teams for keeping an expert eye on solar farms all over the UK and New Zealand, during the harshest winter conditions and over the festive period. If you would feel safer having renewable energy and security experts maintain your site, get in touch today. https://lnkd.in/ecjeNhz8 #Solar #CCTV #Winter

A quick update from Team GB bobsleigh pilot Josh Hudson, sponsored by Ethical Power. We believe sports can be an integral part of healthy youth development, so we support several teams and athletes, such as The Clan, Scotland’s Unified Rugby Team, and the Telford Junior Ice Hockey Club. Josh was re-selected for the 2024/25 Great Britain Bobsleigh team in October at their training camp in Norway. With only five days to prepare, Josh and the team took part in the North American Cup in Whistler. This is perhaps the fastest track in the world, with teams hitting speeds of over 150kph in a 2-man bob and over 160kph in a 4-man bob. Next up, Park City, Utah! Despite clocking in only three days of official training, Josh finished fifth and won his first medal for Great Britain! (Top 6 in bobsleigh is recognised as a wider podium and medals are awarded for these places). Josh is now in Innsbruck, Austria for the Europe Cup. We are very proud to sponsor Josh and can’t wait to see him rise up the ranks of world bobsleigh. Good luck Josh!
