Juliet Davenport was appointed an OBE in the New Year’s Honours list. The founder and Chief Executive of Good Energy Group was recognised for services to renewable electricity supplies.

Commenting on being appointed an OBE in the New Year’s Honours list, Juliet Davenport, CEO and Founder of Good Energy said, “Getting an OBE is a real honour, but it wouldn’t have been possible without all the people involved with Good Energy over the years, including all of our customers and renewable generators.

“It’s a great time to be part of the renewables sector in the UK. Our exciting, innovative and inspirational renewable energy community continues to go from strength to strength. Here at Good Energy we’re looking forward to bringing the benefits of that to more and more people, making renewables more mainstream.”

Juliet was interviewed in 2011 by Blue & Green Tomorrow and you can read the full interview here. Good Energy was the generous sponsor of our 2012 Guide to Limitless Clean Energy.
