💬 "We were reminded that onshore wind is a mature technology and not the upstart, disruptive technology that it once was." ✍️ New blog by our Director of Onshore Projects, Derek Hastings. 🔗 Up on our website now. #onshorewind #renewableenergy #renewables https://lnkd.in/eGTP7GYt

I'm so pleased the Bute Energy approach to community investment has been recognised and included as a case study in this important report. We are so proud of our community informed, data led approach to mapping our communities as complex systems. This method allows us to focus our investment to meet the direct needs and aspirations of #communities, creating as many opportunities for people across #Cymru through our projects' and the £3billion investment they represent. #Diolch netzero2035.wales https://lnkd.in/gTFN8kDV #onshorewind #netzero #renewableenergy #communitybenefits James G.

🌍 Holistic approaches to environmental issues are essential for achieving long-term sustainability. That's why we've partnered with Bee1 to marry technological efforts in renewable energy generation with the preservation of biodiversity. Both serve as a way to build a greener, more sustainable future for our planet. We can't wait to take our partnership with Bee 1 on the road! 🐝 We'll visit some of the community groups we've been engaging with to introduce young women and girls to the career pathways into renewable energy in Wales. Drawing inspiration from the leadership role of the queen bee, we hope to demonstrate that the female role in this sector is essential to ensure that together, we can deliver ambitious sustainability targets. 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eCuZnx9t

Estimates put the number of new Welsh energy sector jobs required by 2050 to be 25,000 jobs, 65% of which will be new jobs. An estimated 140,000 existing jobs that will be affected by net zero will require re-skilling for a new economy. Our Director of Community Investment and Communications shares how at Bute, we're tackling this challenge head on! #renewables #onshorewind24 #greenskills #netzerowales https://lnkd.in/drbF3dqK
