Launch of Wales Green Business Centre
The Wales Green Business Centre (WGBC) was launched today to provide a comprehensive support service to businesses on environmental, energy efficiency, renewable energy and waste issues. Over recent years there has been a significant increase in interest from businesses wishing to improve their environmental performance.
The Wales Green Business Centre provides a confidential helpline and consultancy support service to businesses including, implementing environmental management system (EMS), such as Green Dragon, BS8555, ISO14001, EMS auditing, installation of renewable energy systems, energy assessments (EPCs), waste audits, environmental legal compliance checks, pollution control checks, and environmental training,
The Wales Green Business Centre is managed by Jake Griffiths, formerly a manager at ARENA Network providing environmental business support across South and West Wales. The 5 members of staff at the Centre have a wealth of experience having worked with a range of businesses and organisations including the public sector, tourism, agriculture, manufacturing varying in size from sole traders to multinational companies. The Green Business Centre has been launched by Seren Energy, South Wales’ leading provider of renewable energy systems.
Jake Griffiths said, “Improving environmental performance can be a win, win situation for businesses. Implementing an Environmental Management System, reducing waste or energy consumption not only help the environment but also bring cost savings improving the bottom line. However, knowing where to go for advice can be confusing for businesses. The Wales Green Business Centre aims to break down barriers businesses may find, real or imaginary, to improving their environmental and energy performance by providing a help line and support service across a range of environmental and energy issues.”
Steve Hack, company Director, said: “The team is very excited by this initiative and we look forward to helping business across Wales contribute to reducing carbon emissions – as well as increasing their competitive advantage.“

800kW wind turbine planning success in Pembrokeshire
Seren Energy have been successful in their planning application to Pembrokeshire County Council to install two 800kW wind turbines, each of up to 50m hub height, near Narberth in South West Wales.
The site is a managed forest, crossed by 2 public footpaths, one of which forms part of the Knight’s way, an ancient path from Amroth to Canaston wood.
This scheme has taken over 2 years to get to the approval stage.
Bob Williams, owner of the site and whose family are from the Swansea area, said," I am very excited about this development and it ensures the future of the plantation."
Gareth Tucker, Director of Seren Energy said," This permission was necessary as we were unable to source turbines which met the conditions of the earlier gained permission . A positive outcome of this is that the noise profile of these turbines is less, meaning that nearby residential properties will experience lower noise levels."
