All-Energy congratulates RWE npower renewables for their win in the All-Energy-sponsored ‘Contribution to Supply Chain Development’ award at the annual Scottish Green Energy Awards attended by a thousand guests in Edinburgh last night (6 December). No sooner had that award been presented, than the All-Energy team was in for a real surprise, as the show’s Project Director, Judith Patten, co-founder of the event was awarded the ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’.

The Contribution to Supply Chain Development award is designed to highlight the company that has contributed most to the growth of Scotland’s constantly developing renewable energy supply chain, with nominations welcome from suppliers, developers and supporting businesses and agencies. In addition to the winners, AREG, East Coast Renewables, Gamesa, and SSE Highland Portal were all on the shortlist.

Since the start of 2010, RWE npower renewables (RWE NRL) has placed contracts with businesses in Scotland worth nearly £100 million. They are keen to encourage the use of local contractors wherever possible, as was the case with the construction of their recently opened Novar 2 Wind Farm in Ross-shire, where 81% of the civil works contract spend went to local businesses.
