At October's Pitch Pledge Party event, we got some funding from the 10:10 community to take our community energy saving and renewables initiative to the next level.

But it hasn't been all smooth sailing since my last update in December. A combination of Christmas holidays, cold weather and the government's feed-in tariff cutbacks has made it nearly impossible to persuade homeowners to install solar PV. Sadly, we also lost our free office space due to the landlord getting a paying tenant.

On the up

But things are on the up. Despite the setbacks, there's been some good news to balance it out...

I'm Nigel from Energise Barnet. Back in October we were awarded some funding at 10:10's Pitch Pledge Party event to help us take our community energy and renewables initiative to the next level. Since then we've been very busy indeed!
