Praise from DECC Minister for Whalley Community Hydro

“The Whalley Community Hydro project is a fantastic example of people coming together to generate and own their own local renewable energy, providing a sustainable income stream for the benefit of the wider community” writes Department of Energy and Climate Change Minister, Amber Rudd.

“Thank you for all your efforts and continuing interest in community energy. I look forward to working together in order to achieve our shared objectives of decarbonisation, decentralisation and diversification, and affordable energy in the future.”

Minister Rudd writes to congratulate Whalley Community Hydro for the Community Energy Start-Up of the Year award received at the UK Community Energy Awards in Oxford on the 4 September 2014.
