Director of Action Renewables, Michael Doran said: "Renewables are no longer looked at as an option for local businesses and are quickly becoming a necessary part of forward-thinking business practices. Based on the growing interest in our annual awards, it is evident that more and more local organisations are harnessing the power of renewables, and we are delighted by the increasing popularity of our annual awards, which recognise those who are taking advantage of renewable technologies."

Mary Rossiter, Vayu Energy, said: "It's important to show our support for those who are embracing renewables on a local level, and we are proud to have partnered with Action Renewables for the second year to sponsor the annual awards luncheon. As a supplier of 100% green electricity, we encourage all local businesses to seek ways of cutting costs, reducing carbon emissions, and decreasing their reliance on imported fuel sources by going green."
