In this episode we sit down with Amanda Foreman and Dr Dave Parish, co-founders of Planet A Solutions in their offices in Truro, Cornwall.
Planet A is a Community Interest Company (CIC) that blends architectural and engineering expertise to help industrial clients integrate renewable energy solutions to the benefit of their bottom line.
We learn why Cornwall is home to so many renewable power innovators, as well as the potential for offshore wind, tidal and wave energy. Dave also delves into why floating offshore wind is likely to be a mainstream energy source for the UK in future.
We talk bats and wind turbines, why the grid is so jammed, and what climate emergencies actually mean.
Planet A are gearing up to help deliver ‘Integrated Energy Systems in the Built Environment’ Part of ‘The Future is Green’ - Green Skills project at the University of Exeter, a skills development project part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Expressions of interest is open in early May and for more information contact Green.skills@exeter.ac.uk or see the project webpages https://sites.exeter.ac.uk/greenskills”
Please let us know what you think of the conversation – we are enormously grateful to Dave and Amanda for backing our trip to Cornwall!
