RE4Dy for anything
What about RE4D? No wonder you’ve never heard of it (but can you say it?), those silent but deadly denizens of Devon’s renewables - Dare - have been involved in its inception.
You see, it’s all about promoting renewable energy in Devon (Renewable Energy for (4) Devon - geddit?). But how can you promote it if no-one knows about it?
Well, the free telephone support to move to renewable energy in Objective 2 regions is certainly worthy of note, and on-site advice for schools and larger businesses is also a ‘good thing’. But when you start talking about grants and what-nots for small to medium sized businesses (or what those in the know call SMEs), then surely you’d be shouting it from the highest building - but could you be heard above the low-level persistent noise of the wind turbine? Phone up and find out. And could you be seen through the reflective glare from the photoelectric cells? Likewise.
It’s only fair to mention the other partners in this innovative initiative that will be running for the next two years - WCEAT (West Country Energy Action Trust), GAP (Global Action Plan), the University of Exeter’s CEE (Centre for Energy and Environment) and Trans-Send, a social enterprise company. The project will also work alongside our (not so) old friends Regen SW (the regional renewable energy organisation).
