Quatro PR is assisting Glyndebourne with the wider communications aspects relating to their wind turbine. We are delighted Sir David Attenborough will be officially launching the turbine on Friday 20th January 2012.
Glyndebourne is the first UK arts organisation to generate its own power using a large scale wind turbine. This year will see Glyndebourne's 2012 Festival as the first to run on wind power, with the turbine (commissioned in December 2011) contributing substantially to the Charity’s aspiration that 90% of the power required to stage Glyndebourne’s operas will be delivered sustainably through renewable energy. The turbine provides Glyndebourne with the cleanest and most efficient natural energy with no fuel or waste-related costs.
Glyndebourne will deliver community engagement activities that focus on promoting positive environmental actions and will educate local and regional groups on the benefits of renewable energy.
