This #GreenLibrariesWeek, we’re celebrating Awen’s investment in solar panels at #Betws Life Centre with our Director of Operations Richard Bellinger and @bridgendcbc Cllr Martyn Jones. We’ve installed 74 panels, estimated to generate 24MWh of electricity a year. That’s equivalent to boiling over 100,000 kettles...and making a lot of cups of tea!
