Electric Fleet First Programme 

In our first episode, last month, we discussed how the Green Business Programme can support local SMEs in their fight against  climate change. We heard from a local SME how they’ve managed to reduce their energy bill by 40% after installing solar panels. In this episode we will investigate this further and try to find an answer to the question – can solar panels be a solution to help combat climate change and rising energy costs, in rainy England?
