Community Energy Warwickshire is one of five finalists for the Community Award at the 7th Annual British Renewable Energy Awards ceremony in London on Thursday 21 June 2012.

The Community Award, for a community group which has been active in developing a renewable energy project in their locality during 2011, is one of nine prestigious prizes to be awarded at the gala dinner, which is organised by the Renewable Energy Association.

Community Energy Warwickshire will be represented at the event by Secretary Barbara Cooper, who said: “Whether or not we win, it is a great achievement to be one of the five finalists for this award. At the beginning of 2011, Community Energy Warwickshire had only just been founded, but by the end of the year we had already installed the first phase of our solar-powered hospitals project. It is to the credit of our supporters that this achievement has been recognised by our inclusion in the final shortlist.”
