The Regen team was thrilled to hear over the weekend that our chief executive, Merlin Hyman, has been awarded an OBE in this year’s Queen’s birthday honours.
The award is in recognition of Merlin’s contribution to sustainable energy and, in particular, his work supporting the growth and development of renewable and decentralised energy since 2009, when he took over the helm at Regen.
Merlin’s OBE is a great boost for the Regen team and reflects the increased impact and breadth of our mission to help transform the UK’s energy system. It also reflects tremendously on the strength of the Regen membership, and the network of businesses, communities and partner organisations that we work with directly and through our community energy programme, EWiRE and the Electricity Storage Network.
