BUSINESSES from far and wide have signed up to an energy-saving event that will showcase the latest in green technology.
As reported, the Green Energy In Grimsby: What It Means To You event will be held at the Grimsby Institute's University Centre on Friday
The event is being held by Humber-based PR and marketing firm Footprint Renewables and supported by Grimsby and Scunthorpe Media Group.
DAS Solar is the latest company to sign up to the event.
Zoe Short, the manager of the Mansfield-based company, believes that green energy is now more accessible than ever.
She said: "There was a time, not that long ago, when green energy was the preserve of either the very wealthy or the very worthy.
"All that has changed for two reasons – firstly the technology around energy saving has got more efficient. Take solar panels – the type we now install at DAS are vastly superior and more powerful than the ones used even as recently as three years ago.
"Secondly, the price of energy has rocketed this past decade and has hit the purse and wallet of the ordinary family hard.
"The days of cheap energy are gone for good which makes using less, and even generating your own, infinitely more attractive.
"Having played a key part in making the digital switchover happen in the world of TV, the energy sector was the natural place for DAS to move into – we have essentially swapped one technological revolution for another.
"Our mix of installation and engineering expertise coupled with the buying power we wield as a major wholesaler, too, puts us in a unique position to be able to help homes and businesses alike benefit from the savings it's now possible to make.
"Events like Footprint Renewables' Green Energy in Grimsby are fantastic ways of spreading the word and the organisers are to be commended. I hope the venue is packed to the rafters because in these hard times people need to know just how much they can save by using the right energy products."
The event will showcase a variety of new technologies that will help reduce the country's carbon footprint and lower utility bills.
Information on energy saving light bulbs, heat pumps and solar panels will be available as well as physical examples of the equipment.
Andrew Morton, account director of Footprint Renewables, said: "We've seen a very positive response to the Green Energy In Grimsby event.
"This reflects the huge potential Grimsby and northern Lincolnshire offers the renewables industry and also the need to inform more people about this sometimes confusing topic."
