Inquiry launched into sustainability at the Ministry of Justice
MPs have launched an inquiry into sustainability at the Ministry of Justice after a National Audit Office (NAO) report found ‘important gaps’ in the department’s governance arrangements.
The environmental audit committee is to examine the role that sustainability plays in policymaking, governance, procurement and operations at the ministry.
Shining a light on community energy
Renewable energy company Joju Solar recently won the ‘best use of solar in a community energy project’ at the Solar Power Portal Awards.
The award was for the firm’s work of the summer of 2016, when it installed a total of 2.5MW of community solar across 46 sites during a 10-week period, including several schools.
Since being founded in 2006, it’s been responsible for installing 5% of all community renewables in the UK.
Environment Journal spoke to the company’s co-founder, Dr Chris Jardine, about the company’s successes to date and the future of community energy.
Firstly, can you tell us about how and why Joju Solar was set up?
