14/07/08 Wind Turbine Victory - Sussex Enterprise


Announcement by the government to give the go-ahead for a 70 metre wind turbine at Glyndebourne opera house near Lewes, has been welcomed by Sussex Enterprise the chamber of commerce for the county.

Mark Froud, Chief Executive at Sussex Enterprise said, “The secretary of state has made absolutely the right decision over this development and clearly understands the importance of encouraging businesses to reduce their energy consumption. The go-ahead for the wind turbine will send out a really positive message to other businesses that want to tackle climate change and still remain competitive. Glyndebourne should be congratulated for taking such a bold step with its application and showing its commitment to introducing renewable energy solutions for its business needs.”

“The business community is often represented as unsympathetic to the needs of the environment and as being a key contributor to climate change. As a representative of businesses across Sussex I can honestly say this is simply not true. Businesses are constantly telling us they want to introduce energy saving solutions to become more sustainable.”
