The 6th annual British Renewable Energy Awards paid tribute to the UK renewable energy industry’s achievements at a packed gala dinner attended by around 350 people in boutique Kensington hotel Jumeirah Carlton Tower.
Hosted by UK BIG Lottery Fund Chairman, Peter Ainsworth, the Awards named Windelectric’s Peter Edwards and Godfrey Bevan, one of the founders of the REA, as joint Champions for their outstanding lifetime contribution towards renewables.
