At 10:10's Pitch Pledge Party event in October 2011, Energise Barnet got some funding from the 10:10 community to take our community energy saving and renewables initiative to the next level.

 

Since my last update in March, we've focused on creating a Green Deal delivery plan for Barnet Council. The Green Deal – a government programme that gives people loans for energy efficiency measures with repayments tied to fuel bill savings – launches in October, and we'll be helping to make it happen in Barnet.

 

We've also been working to become ‘investment ready’, so we were delighted when Grant Thornton, one of the world's leading assurance, tax and advisory firms, agreed to help us.

 

Finally, we have moved into a new office and recruited staff to help with administration, sales and marketing. A huge step in professionalising and spreading our services! 

 

So the next few months should bring some exciting developments and big strides into a lower-carbon future for Barnet. –  watch this space...
