Andrew Garrad is a pioneer of the wind energy industry and he’s here to tell us about the growth of that industry up until now and the future of where it’s going.

Andrew set up his business, Garrad Hassan, 40 years ago and it became the leading renewables consultancy in the world with 1,000 staff in 29 countries. He’s been the president of the European Wind Energy Association, Chair of Bristol European Green Capital 2015 and has received a CBE for his services to renewable energy.

Andrew talks in detail about his most recent project - a community owned, community led, wind turbine in Lawrence Weston. This turbine has gone up this month and is the largest of its kind in England. It will power a community the size of Lawrence Weston whilst providing £100,000 per year in community funding each year. It’s a truly remarkable story of tenacity and grassroots agency.

Amongst all of this, we learned about Alby’s holiday in Kos, Ashik’s Birthday paradox, and the fact that Andrew and Ellie are perfectly compatible for sharing a box of celebrations. Enjoy!
